Elucidating the Mechanism of Lubrication for Sliding Droplets: Hydrodynamics, Surface Forces, and the Role of Surfactants and Polymers (Sliding Droplets)

Start date: Aug 1, 2012, End date: Jul 31, 2014,

Emulsions are the base for variety of products in industry, food production, cosmetics, pharmacy, and new materials. Many of the important applications of emulsions are controlled by interactions between oil droplets and solid surfaces. The aim of this project is to carry out novel investigations into the interaction between droplets and solid surfaces undergoing sliding contact. Importantly, and ...

Neural control of locomotion in C. elegans worms: combination of mathematical modeling and molecular-cellular biology (C. elegans motion)

Start date: Dec 1, 2009, End date: Nov 30, 2012,

"The purpose of this project is to understand the basic mechanisms of neural control of undulatory locomotion in C. elegans worms. This will be achieved by a combination of mathematical modeling, quantitative behavioral tracking, and molecular/cellular neurogenetic manipulations. C. elegans worms move by generating an oscillatory neuromuscular wave that alternates dorsal and ventral muscles and p ...
