Description:: Herein, we present an overview of our studies of the morphology, dynamics, and formation of heterogeneous soft matter systems via the emerging technique of liquid phase transmission electron microscopy (LPTEM). This particular subset of materials, more commonly referred to as emulsions, is tremendously commercially and biologically relevant, encompassing applications in...

Description:: External manipulation of soft matter underlies a multitude of advancements in far-from-equilibrium materials. The application of magnetic fields has proven tremendouslybeneficial due to its ability to impart rapid and precise changes throughout soft magnetic systems. This has led to scientists and engineers to develop composite materials that take advantage of...

Description:: Science at the nanoscale poses several recurring difficulties. How can we control the assembly of objects too small for direct manipulation to be practical? How can we extend that control to extit{in vivo} systems so we can make use of nanotechnology in medicine? And how can we recreate the extraordinary...

Description:: I present research in systems of biomedical relevance consisting of agents near or com- prising surfaces using computational approaches. The research topics include formation of bacterial biofilms, behavior of charged species near stacked, like-charged lamellae, and the the conformational behavior of lamellae with strong self-attraction. In chapter 2, I present...
