| I just have to say that your work definitely does not go unnoticed. I decided to check out what you had been up to, and when I saw this, my jaw dropped. Great job! (P.S. Nice idea with Talk:Solid#Extension; that should definitely stop any problems ahead of time). NW (Talk) 01:54, 24 July 2009 (UTC) |
Welcome!
I am an Associate Professor of Mathematics and Chemistry at a four-year university, with an academic background in mathematics, physical chemistry and solid state physics (esp. ceramics and glasses). After working in thin-film development for IBM Research, I spent several years in the industry synthesizing IR transparent materials such as optical glass and crystalline ceramics utilizing the chemistry of liquid solutions and/or Sol-gel technology.
I am well-versed in Fourier theory, and interested in its applications in describing wave motion and the spectrum of vibrational frequencies in crystalline solids. Related interests include elasticity and mechanical behavior, viscoelasticity and the glass transition, plastic deformation in solids and structural phase transformations in solids. Significant Wiki contributions include:
- Solid
- Liquid
- Sol-gel
- Biopolymers
- Biomaterials
- Crystal growth
- Crystal structure
- Colloidal crystal
- Phase separation
- Physics of glass
- Glass transition
- Strength of glass
- Light scattering
- Transparent metals
