A Sticky Wicket: Using nanoscale methods to understand powder and particle adhesion

This project is closed.

Understanding what factors influence particle adhesion and attachment at the nanoscale will help us predict how pharmaceutical inhalers will perform. This project uses state of the art methods to try to "see" these interactions. Will involve building experimental apparatus.

Qualifications

Enthusiasm. Some physics would be useful as would some research experience.

Project Timeline

6-8 months

Duties

Participate in building and designing experimental setups, obtaining experimental data, interpreting data.

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.
