Extracting unknown material properties from laser-induced inertial cavitation events

This project is ongoing.

We are experimentally characterizing and modeling dynamic, nonlinear behavior of viscoelastic materials, including hydrogels, biological tissues, and foam materials, under various strain-rate (10^-4 ~ 10^7 s^-1) dynamic loading. The goal of this project is to extract unknown material properties (i.e., hydrogels, tissues, etc.) from laser-induced inertial cavitation events.

I'M INTERESTED IN THIS PROJECT. WHAT SHOULD I DO NEXT?

The Office of Undergraduate Research recommends that you attend an info session or advising before contacting faculty members or project contacts about research opportunities. We'll cover the steps to get involved, tips for contacting faculty, funding possibilities, and options for course credit. Once you have attended an Office of Undergraduate Research info session or spoken to an advisor, you can use the "Who to contact" details for this project to get in touch with the project leader and express your interest in getting involved.
