I completed my PhD at the University of Southern Mississippi. My Advisor was Dr. Sarah Morgan. The research facilities at the University were just great.
I worked as a Teaching assistant and was awarded Research Assistantship at the University.
My doctoral work encompassed preparation and macro- to nano level characterization of low friction polymer nanocomposites, for biomedical and other engineering device applications. Materials of interest are novel rigid rod materials, thermoplastics as well as engineering plastics. Major area of emphasis in my research work was to optimize the use of inorganic compounds as nanostructured additives for generating novel inorganic-organic hybrid polymer nanocomposites with controlled dispersion of nanoparticles. A different nanocomposite system based on polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) molecules as the inorganic fillers was of interest in my research. The resulting hybrid nanocomposites, which had the unique properties from both inorganic and organic components, provided a versatile route to control the structure and properties of polymers at nanoscale level.
My research interests include Understanding Macro to Nanoscale Tribological and Mechanical Performance of Hybrid Polymeric Nanocomposites and High Performance Materials Utilizing Advance Nanoprobe Techniques ; Nanoparticle Dispersion and Assembly and Self-Assembly, Surface Modification, Solution Dynamics, and Chemical Force Microscopic Investigations of Adhesive Interactions of Self Assembled Amphipathic Fungal Proteins.
