Interfacial & Pore-Confinement Phenomena

Nano/microfluidics

Check out some of the characterization facilities we leverage: Columbia Nano Initiative, Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory

Porous media with solid interfaces of undetermined wettability.

See our related publications.

Highlighted publications: 

Influences of polarity and hydration cycles on imbibition hysteresis in silica nanochannels
