In this paper, we propose how surface charges on plasma membranes can favor non-specific adhesion of Nanoparticles to stiffer plasma membranes….This is Shayandev’s 19th paper, Haoyuan’s 7th paper, and Harnoor’s 2nd paper from the group. Congrats to all three of them !!!!

In this paper, we develop a new theory to probe the overspray effect in Aerosol Jet 3D Printing. This is Guang’s 18th paper and Yuan’s 3rd paper form the group. Congratulations to both !!!!!!

This paper corrects the existing model of the Ionic Diffusioosmosis in Charged Nanochannels. This is Haoyuan’s 6th paper…congrats!!!  

This paper probes the behavior of the interpenetarted polyelectrolyte brushes in the weakly interpenetrating regime. This is Prof. Siddhartha Das’ 100th journal publication. This is also Shayandev’s 18th paper and Parth’s 2nd paper from the group. Congrats to both of them !!!!

The paper is a collaborative work with Prof. Hu’s group. The paper is on Scalable and Highly Efficient Wood-Based Solar Steam Generation Device. This is Guang’s 17th paper from SMIEL.

News story on the APL article on the role of electrostatics in dictating receptor-ligand mediated membrane-nanoparticle interactions has been published on the UMD Mechanical Engineering website. Here is the link.

In this paper, we develop a theory to show how the membrane semi-permeability ensures that the membrane EDL capacitance may significantly affect the overall capacitance of the membrane-EDL system. This is Shayandev’s 17th paper and Harnoor’s 2nd paper from the group. Congrats to both of them !!!!

In this paper, we provide a design criterion for selecting the critical length of receptor-ligand complexes for nanoparticles for ascertaining the nanoparticle-membrane interactions in a given electrostatic environment. This is Shayandev’s 16th paper, Jing’s 5th paper, and Harnoor’s 1st paper from the group. Congrats to all three !!!!

SMIEL Ph.D. student Yanbin Wang has been selected for Clark School 2018 Future Faculty Fellow (FFF). This is for the third successive year that somebody from SMIELhas been selected for FFF. Guang was 2016 FFF, Shayandev was 2017 FFP and now Yanbin…congrats Yanbin….

In this collaboration paper with Prof. Liangbing Hu’s group, Dr. Das and his postdoc Dr. Guang Chen provide a theory to relate the porosity of different wood structures with the solar steam generation capability of wood.
