I celebrate my silk, and shear my silk: assembly and rheology of reconstituted silk protein
(Georgetown University, 2017)Reconstituting silk cocoons into aqueous protein solutions allows for the mechanical properties of silk to be utilized in non-fibrous forms. However, the exact impact of reconstitution on the protein was previously unknown. ... -
CREATING MULTI-COMPONENT NANOPARTICLES USING NANOPRECIPITATION
(Georgetown University, 2016)Nanoprecipitation is a self-assembly process for forming nanoparticles by replacement of a good solvent in which multiple materials are dissolved with a poor solvent. It has demonstrated its advantages of easy setup, good ... -
PARTICLE FORMATION AND GROWTH FOR SMALL MOLECULES AND POLYMERS BY NANOPRECIPITATION
(Georgetown University, 2016)The nanoprecipitation method is a simple and convenient way to produce nanoparticles from small molecules and polymers in solution. The underlying mechanism, which plays a pivotal role in the control of nanoparticle size ... -
Theoretical studies for experimental implementation of quantum computing with trapped ions
(Georgetown University, 2016)Certain quantum many-body physics problems, such as the transverse field Ising model are intractable on a classical computer, meaning that as the number of particles grows, or spins, the amount of memory and computational ... -
Simulating Fiber Ordering and Aggregation In Shear Flow Using Dissipative Particle Dynamics
(Georgetown University, 2016)We have developed a mesoscale simulation of fiber aggregation in shear flow using LAMMPS and its implementation of dissipative particle dynamics. Understanding fiber aggregation in shear flow and flow-induced microstructural ...
