Dr. Rui Huang, assistant professor of aerospace engineering and engineering mechanics,
recently was awarded a $400,150 National Science Foundation Early Career Development(CAREER)
award to use computer modeling to understand how patterns evolve in materials. At left: Huang, with magnified images of the patterns (orange and tan) that result from simulations of the interaction of a microscopically thin film with an underlying softer material. The bright color represents portions of the thin film at the crest of a wrinkle. |
