Developing Inverse Density Functional Theory as an Analytical Tool for Diffusing Colloidal Probe Microscopy
We are developing theory to predict and interpret the structure of colloidal particle dispersions near interfaces, especially to infer the strength of particle-surface interactions from digital microscopic imaging experiments.
Our work will impact …
new methods for measuring “weak” forces in colloidal and biological systems
the assembly of nanometer-scale particles into organized structures
