Research Projects
- Polymer dynamics (including stress relaxation in unlinked ring melts, simulating polymer motion in shear flow, polymer droplet spreading, and DNA elasticity)
- Glassy systems (including Tg shifts in polymer thin films, mobility in dense fluids, and force chains in jammed colloids)
- Ordering and crystallization (including rotator phases in alkanes, crystal nucleation in polyethylene, and flow-induced crystallization)
- Polymer entanglement (including the topological origin of the tube, noninvasive methods to "see" the tube in simulations, and response of the tube to interfaces and strain)
