Professor Radke's research integrates molecular theory, spectroscopic tools, and transport engineering to study phase boundary dynamics. Key areas include protein/polymer/surfactant adsorption, thin film stability, electrokinetics, and tear film behavior relevant to contact lens design.

He has received numerous teaching accolades such as the Donald Sterling Noyce Prize (1993) and multiple AIChE and departmental awards. His work in colloid chemistry earned the American Chemical Society National Award (2002).
