Center for Complex Particle Systems (COMPASS) announced

Christina Rice, a Mechanical Engineering PhD student, center, and other members of the Larson Group as they prepare for an experiment with the Rheometer in the Larson Lab on the North Campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor on Wednesday, August 30, 2023. Rheometry is the study of flow of matter which describes the relationship between forces, flow or deformation, and time. Combining solid-like with liquid-like properties is one of the essential material properties needed for 3D printing.

 

The Larson Group is headed by Ronald Larson, the A. H. White Distinguished University Professor of Chemical Engineering, and the inaugural education lead for new Center for Complex Particle Systems (COMPASS).

 

"Materials with rheological properties such as these will be studied in the center at both macroscopic and microscopic levels. The students depicted here are likely to be involved in either research, teaching, or outreach activities of the center,” said Larson.
