Patrick Underhill
Education:
B.S. Chemical Engineering, Washington University, 2001
B.S. Physics, Washington University, 2001
Research Interests:
My research focuses primarily on Brownian dynamics simulations of complex molecules such as polymers using bead-spring
chain models. To fully understand the system, we monitor both the configuration and stress dynamics and compare with bulk rheological
and fluorescence video microscopy measurements. Recent developements include a better understanding of the accuracy of the
coarse-graining procedure used to generate the bead-spring chains from the polymer.
