The Complex Fluids and Multiphase Transport Lab conducts both experimental and modeling studies on transport sciences in scalable nanomanufacturing and multi-scale modeling of energy systems and materials processing. Current projects range from basic studies of deposition physics of printale electronics and directed assembly of functional nanoparticles to microstructure evolution in reactive wetting and design of electrochemical energy storage and two-phase heat transfer surfaces.

The laboratory is supported by the National Science Foundation, Air Force Office of Scientific Research, Ben Franklin Technology Partners, American Chemical Society, and industry.
