My group studies planetary interiors (including our own) using a combination of experiments and modeling, constrained by observations. Recent and current research topics include the role of volatiles in the formation and evolution of the Moon; the chemical evolution of planetary cores; isotope fractionation in magmatic processes; diffusion in mantle, core and crustal minerals; chemical

Research activities in the Panagiotopoulos group focus on development and application of theoretical and computer simulation techniques for the study of properties of fluids and materials. Emphasis is on molecular-based models that explicitly represent the main interactions in a system. These models can be used to predict the behavior of materials at conditions inaccessible to

The mission of our laboratory is to elucidate the biology and evolution of human adenoviruses. Virus induced signal transduction – Human adenoviruses are the etiologic agents of epidemic keratoconjunctivitis, a severe and highly transmissible infection of the eye. We have shown the primacy of Src, MAPK, and PI3K signaling in corneal infection by adenoviruses, and

Photoacoustic Imaging Photoacoustic (PA) imaging is a powerful imaging modality that is based on the detection of sound waves generated by an optically excited chromophore. Due to the low scattering of sound in biological tissues, this state-of-the-art approach is ideal for non-invasive, deep-tissue bioimaging of live animals and human organs. Our group is currently developing

Harish Krishnaswamy conceives, analyzes, designs, and experimentally demonstrates novel integrated electronic technologies for new high-frequency wireless applications. He has worked on integrated full-duplex radios that can simultaneously transmit and receive on the same frequency band, thereby doubling network capacity. He has investigated temporally-modulated circuits that break the traditional physical laws of reciprocity, enabling the realization

Our work on the mechanical behavior of thin films and nanocomposites has tackled the important problem of simulating interface and interphase behavior at extended length and time scales. A newly established scale bridging technique called thermomechanically consistent coarse-graining (TCCG) developed for investigating polymer dynamics near surfaces with nanometer scale resolution has been instrumental in revealing
