Excited to call Lafferre Hall home! Mizzou Engineering

Welcoming the class of ‘26 to campus! #tigerwalk #mizzou

Now there's no excuse for not reading my publications!

We are thrilled to welcome 14 new faculty members to the Mizzou Engineering community! Read about the new educators and researchers: ow.ly/U9ey50KJ27S

Feel like I’m going through a rite of passage… proposal writing at a bar. Tommy would be proud.

We’ve got a hood!!

Looking forward to my first conference as an assistant professor next week!! Catch me in Chicago for #SOR2022 Capillary Forces Drive Plastic Deformation and Break-up of Soft Elastic Solids IN32 Thursday 11:55am

Inspiring future Tiger Grads! Come on by and learn about our research! Mizzou Engineering

final grad school paper is finally out! Cellular micromasonry: biofabrication with single cell precision - now published in Soft Matter pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Elon Musk hasn't funded my research lab. Does he hate Soft Matter? What's going on here Elon Musk

Happy to see Katie Rose, PhD's last PhD paper finally published! Check out how she examined the effect of defects on nanoparticle diffusion in reaction-tuned tetra-PEG hydrogels. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Our rheometer was installed today, and she’s a beaut!

More postdoc work with the Composto Lab and the Lee Lab! We used the control offered by polypeptide synthesis to investigate sequence specific polymer adsorption at the solid/liquid interface. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Had a blast playing sharing our love of soft matter and polymers with the future scientist of Missouri at the CYS Expo Mizzou Research

My first paper was about 3D printing PDMS into organic based microgels. It was the state of the art until now! Awesome work by Senthil and Co. on pushing the limits of 3D printing! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Big shoutout to Will for winning 1st place in the engineering undergraduate poster session during Show Me Research Week ! #ShowMeResearch #MizzouResearch

Last paper from the Postdoc is now out in Macromolecules! In it, we explore how changes in the crosslinking density effect the elasticity and interstitial pore structure of concentrated microgel packings. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
