Laboratory-based environmental science research using physical, chemical and biological techniques to characterize and quantify environmental samples.
Prashant's work lies at the intersection of mechanics, physics and biology. Fluctuations and statistical mechanics is a recurring theme in his research.
Set up, monitor, purify, and analyze organic chemical reactions.
Dr. Johnson's research is focused on development of new families of single-atomic layer nanomaterials, building a scientific understanding of their physical and chemical properties, and translation of device structures into useful applications.
"Vapor-deposited radicals can be a potential candidate for q-bits. We try to control their properties through deposition"
Our group works at the intersection of synthetic chemistry and optical spectroscopy, developing molecular probes for quantitative biomedical imaging.
Work on projects in either biomedical optics that employ light to measure physiological properties of tissues, or soft condensed matter physics that explore the behaviors of complex fluids such as colloids, liquid crystals, emulsions, drops and more.
Professor Bernstein's research is focused on the use of gravitational lensing, the deflection of light by gravity as predicted by General Relativity. Another area of research is discovery of planets beyond Neptune in our own solar system. Student projects will typically involve analyses of sky survey images using Python or other numerical methods. Professor Bernstein will be on sabbatical (and not advising new undergraduates) until Fall 2025.
