Thank you Professor Sharma Vivek Sharma’s Soft Matter for your support, you are the best advisor and mentor I could ever ask for! Your passion for science and knowledge have been always an inspiration for me! :)

Salt addition breaks down the analogy observed between the step sizes in stratifying foam films and intermicellar distances in bulk solutions of ionic surfactants in salt-free solutions. Published in Langmuir pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

RSC told me that the publication date is pushed again to March, which is frustrating; they also said the preorder is very good, which I found true. Amazon even placed it on Bestseller list even though it’s not published yet. Thanks to all the friends for supporting!

Join us LIVE tomorrow at 10a ET/7a PT for a special announcement and press conference regarding a MAJOR scientific breakthrough at our sister Lab, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, with Secretary Jennifer Granholm, NNSA Administrator Jill Hruby, and LLNL Director Kim Budil. energy.gov/live

Our work discussing a strategy to upcycle glycolyzed polyurethane foam products, is now online ACS Sustainable Journals! We developed this simple, one-pot method to fabricate lightweight composites with flexural strengths comparable to ordinary Portland cement doi.org/10.1021/acssus…

W/Divya Iyer, excited to present a simple method to composite glycolyzed foam products with inorganic particles. Our composites are low-density and strength ≥ cement. Our 1st contribution on #polymer #upcycling. Mattress Recycling Council ARPA-E UCLA Samueli Engineering
