College Courses
| |
Fall 2010 |
Harvard University |
Applied Physics 225 |
Introduction to Soft Matter |
| |
|
Introduction to soft condensed matter,
or “complex fluids,” including polymers, colloids, liquid
crystals, and biological structures. Emphasis on physical principles
that govern bulk behavior. Students will understand the concepts,
experimental techniques, and open questions.
|
| |
Spring 2010 |
Columbia University |
ChemE E6252 |
Advanced Surface/Colloid Chemistry |
| |
|
This course explores the application of modern concepts
in physics and physical chemistry to the surface and colloid chemistry
of suspensions, emulsions, foams, aerosols, wetting, flocculation,
flotation, separation, and stabilization. Technology areas include
environmental remediation, industrial processing, and life sciences.
(Taught with Professor Ponisseril Somasundaran.)

Spring 2011 |
Harvard University |
Applied Physics 226 |
Capillarity and Wetting |
| |
|
Consider phenomena strongly influenced by surface tensions,
high curvatures, thin films, diffusion, adsorption, wetting, which
are variously mobile, dynamic, polymeric, transient, fragile. Emphasis
on the physics, thermodynamics, rheological and scaling laws that
govern bulk behavior.
Prerequisite: Knowledge of thermodynamics and basic statistical mechanics
and some familiarity with phase diagrams and differential equations. |
Customised Short Courses
The Dispersions in Liquids course may be scheduled for presentation
in-house at a time and place convenient for your organization.
| In-house courses
can be specialized: |
|
|
|
| |
• The agenda can be shortened to create a
1-day course.
• Topics can be expanded for a multiple day
course.
• A course can be focused on topics of interest
to your organization. |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
| Examples of specialized
courses previously given: |
|
| |
• Particle-based display technologies |
|
|
| |
• Dispersions in nanotechnologies |
|
|
| |
• Dispersions for biodiagnostics |
