This project uses coarse-grained molecular dynamics to study the pathway by which amphiphilic triblock copolymers organize from initially dispersed chains into vesicular assemblies. The analysis focuses on morphology transitions, aggregate growth, solvent-polymer interfaces, and chain conformations during self-assembly.

PhD Student in Biomedical and Chemical Engineering
I am a PhD student in Biomedical and Chemical Engineering at Syracuse University,
where my primary adviser and PI is Dr. Radhakrishna Sureshkumar and my co-adviser
is Dr. James Henderson. My research uses coarse-grained molecular dynamics to study
polymer and surfactant self-assembly, with a focus on amphiphilic copolymer systems,
micelles, vesicles, and the molecular mechanisms that drive morphology evolution.
