معرفی
Dr. Elizabeth K. Mann is Professor at Kent State University, specializing in soft matter physics and interfacial phenomena. She completed her PhD at Université Pierre et Marie Curie (Paris VI) in 1992 and conducted postdoctoral research in France and Switzerland. Her work bridges macromolecular science, odontology, and environmental engineering.
Research focuses on complex interfacial phenomena in molecularly thin films, with expertise in Brewster angle microscopy and optical characterization techniques. Investigates phase behavior, hydrodynamics, and pattern formation in polymer liquid crystal films and biomimetic systems. Applications include biosensing, optical devices, and functional materials.
Recent publications demonstrate strong focus on liquid crystal applications in optics (microlenses, biosensors), interfacial tension measurements, protein-lipid interactions, and hydrogen bonding in complex fluids. Work integrates experimental techniques including surface light scattering spectroscopy, neutron reflectivity, and advanced microscopy.
Based at the Advanced Materials and Liquid Crystal Institute. No information provided regarding students, awards, or research grants.
