The paper provides the theory for the osmotic pressure between two soft charged surfaces in presence of finite ion size effects. This is the second paper of Joseph….Congratulations Joseph!!!!!!!!!!!!

Prof. Siddhartha Das has been honored in the 8th Annual University-Wide Celebration of Scholarship and Research of University of Maryland

Prof. Das delivers two invited talks. The first one was in the Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Maryland, while the second talk was the part of the Fluids Dynamics Review Seminar in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Maryland. The title of both the talks were: “Wetting and Electrohydrodynamics of Soft Surfaces”.

The paper provides the theory for electroosmotic transport in a polyelectrolyte-grafted nanochannel with pH-dependent charge density. This is the third paper of Guang….Congratulations Guang!!!!!!!!!!!!

News story on the cover article in Colloids and Surfaces B has been published in the front page of the website of the Department of  Mechanical Engineering, University of Maryland. Here is the link: http://enme.umd.edu/news/news_story.php?id=8958

Paper of Kyle, Fedra and Joseph published as cover article in the March issue of Colloids and Surfaces B. Here is the link: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/journal/09277765/127. Heartiest congratulations to Kyle, Fedra and Joseph !!!!!!

Guang Chen successfully passes her Qualifying Exam. Congratulations Guang !!!!!

Shayandev Sinha has joined SMIEL for his PhD. Welcome on board Shayandev !!!!!!!!!

This paper provides a numerical model to calculate the electrostatic potential profile of a charged soft spherical particle with pH-dependent charge density. This work is of relevance to better understand the electrostatics of bio-species like MS2 bacteriophage virus. This is the first paper of my undergraduate researchers and summer intern, namely Kyle, Joseph and Fedra…..Congratulations

In this paper we provide a new integro-differential model to calculate the streaming potential and electroviscous effects in soft nanochannels beyond Debye-Hückel linearization. This is Guang’s second paper….Many congratulations Guang……
