Our group at Case Western Reserve University combines experiments with theory and simulation to understand polymer physics problems involving grafted and non-linear polymers.

Computational techniques that we use include dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulations, polymer field theories such as self-consistent field theory (SCFT), and Monte Carlo simulations. Experimentally, we employ a wide range of techniques to investigate our polymer systems, including ionic conductivity measurements, dynamic light scattering (DLS), depolarized DLS (DDLS), massively-parallel phase analysis light scattering (MP-PALS), multi-angle (static) light scattering (MALS), and a variety of elastic and inelastic neutron scattering techniques.
