Research
Interests:
• Investigation
of short-time dynamic motions in soft materials,
including polymers, network glasses,
nanofilled polymers, and biological systems
• Methods for
more efficient simulations of chain molecules
that retain connection to underlying atomistic
detail
• Dynamic neutron scattering as a probe
of self and collective motion.
