Prof. Siddhartha Das delivers invited talk in MRS Fall meeting held in Boston from November 30, 105 to December 04, 2015. The topic of the talk was Thermodynamics, Transport and Adhesion at Soft, Charged Interfaces.

SMIEL PhD students Shayandev and Guang, MS student Jahin do oral presentations and BS student Lucas do poster presentation in APS DFD meeting held at Boston from 22-24 November.

This paper calculates the streaming potential and efficiency of electrochemomechanical energy conversion in nanochannels grafted with polyelectrolyte brushes with pH-dependent charge density. This is the first paper of Jahin and sixth paper of Guang. Congratulations to both of them!!!!!

Story of Guang’ Northrop Grumman fellowship has been published in UMD’s Department of Mechanical Engineering’s webpage (http://enme.umd.edu/news/news_story.php?id=9418)

SMIEL PhD student Ms. Guang Chen receives the 2015-16 Northrop Grumman Graduate Fellowship in Engineering Education. Heartiest Congratulations Guang!!!!!!!!  

This paper shows how the surface charge effects enhances the feasibility of under-water adhesion. This is Shayandev’s 4th paper from the group and also his first main paper from his Phd Thesis work.
