Research Project

Patterns with Resonant Forcing?

This experimental project involves resonant forcing of liquids with free surfaces in contact with compliant media. The free surface develops patterns that are controllable. The patterns are affected by gravity level. It is my interest to examine the patterns using external forces that counter gravity such as electrostatic forces. The application of this work is in materials science.
