This work seeks to understand the influence of molecular ordering on the wetting resistance of non-woven structures.
This study aims to use SLIC coatings and flexible blades to improve the anti-thrombotic response of LVADs
This CAREER proposal aims to build an integrated research and education plan centered on understanding how molecular architecture of surface ligands and reaction coordinates in surface modification influence surface crystallinity and morphology of organically modified silica particles (Ormosils).
This study aims to gauge the efficacy of superhydrophobic bileaflet mechanical heart valve with vortex generators as a potential alternative to current heart valve technology by fine tuning material composition and processing to meet the durability and antithrombogenic requirements for heart valves.
This proposal aims to quantitatively evaluate the influence of contact angle hysteresis on the slip length, and consequently its influence on pressure drop and the heat transfer coefficient in different single phase flows.
