We use a balance of theory, computations and experiments to study problems where complex behavior arises from nonlinearities and multiple length and time scales. Our research unites science and engineering, falling into the general realms of "soft matter" and "nanotechnology" while drawing on the core foundations of chemical engineering: applied mathematics, fluid mechanics, transport, and thermodynamics. The projects, which involve an intimate coupling of theory and experiment, are often motivated by fundamental questions, with applications in emerging and traditional materials processing and diagnostic technologies.
