Overview
Scientific and technological breakthroughs enabled by the discovery of new materials with unprecedented properties bring us closer to understanding the mysteries of nature that surround us and simultaneously solve societal challenges. We, as engineers, are accountable for developing/using these materials and associated processes to help address global challenges related to mankind and the environment. Motivated by these broad goals, we explore the discovery of new forms of soft matter that can be used to create a sustainable future for mankind. The research themes in our include:
1. Liquid-Liquid Crystal phase separation via associative and depletion driven phenomena
2. Non-Equilibrium liquid-liquid extractions
3. Anisotropic fluids as functional materials to interface with cells
