Subhash Mahajan
Research
Understanding the interrelationship between structure and properties in semiconductors, superconductors, and magnetic materials and deformation behavior of solids. Current focus is on origins and reduction of threading dislocations in group III-nitride layers, microstructures of mixed III-nitride layers and how defects affect device behavior.

Karen McDonald
Research
Using the tools of genetic engineering, recombinant proteins can be produced using a variety of expression systems and hosts, including microbial, mammalian, insect, plant or algal cells grown in bioreactors as well as transgenic animals and plants. Our laboratory is developing novel expression systems (i.e. the genetic instructions that direct the host cell to produce the non-native protein) and bioprocess engineering technologies to produce recombinant proteins, including human therapeutic proteins, enzymes for cellulose degradation, and biopolymers for materials applications, using whole plants, harvested plant tissues or plant cells grown in-vitro in bioreactors.
Greg Miller
Research
The development of numerical methods for the solution of complex problems in engineering and science, mostly at the continuum scale. Complex rheology: multiscale and continuum methods for incompressible viscoelastic flows. Multiphase flows: compressible and incompressible flows of fluids and elastic-plastic solids in time-dependent domains, interfacial processes. Constitutive modeling: equations of state, thermodynamic modeling, symmetry invariants. Charged systems: plasma physics, boundary charge and bilayer problems.
