And my research Guide is....

Prof JJ de Pablo. http://www.engr.wisc.edu/che/faculty/depablo_juan.html


That was an outcome of mutual agreement amongst the students and the professors which happened after long meetings, which went on for a month's time. During the time we all had to meet the professors and tell them about our interests in their areas. After which we had to fill up a choice sheet and then professors had to select according to their preferences.

Today it was announced which professor is taking whom under his guidance.

My guide shall be Prof. Juan J de Pablo, under whom I shall be working on molecular simulations on nanomaterials and this will be applied in the field of lithography. We shall be seeing the effect of interfacial properties on thermophysical properties of polymer films.

Wind is even colder now and schedules are busier. Reaction kinetics is bringing lots of new stuff to us, which I hope everyone in my branch is enjoying.
