MOSAIC · Mode-selective ab-initio photoinduced dynamics in conjugated polymers

Sunlight is abundant, but figuring out how to efficiently grab that energy and convert it into something useful, like electricity for our homes, is a big puzzle. This research project dives into the world of a special type of molecules called "π-conjugated polymers." We can think of them as microscopic antennas that ar…

SUMAC · TrendS and Uncertainties in Mercury (Hg) Atmospheric Chemistry

Mercury (Hg) is a toxic heavy metal that bioaccumulates in aquatic food chains, endangering human health through the consumption of seafood. The atmospheric chemistry of Hg determines how far it can be transported and where it will ultimately deposit, since elemental mercury (Hg(0)) is insoluble and long-lived in the a…

MulPHys · A multiscale approach to unsaturated flow in porous media with Preisach hysteresis

Experimental evidence indicates that fluid filtration through unsaturated porous media exhibits a hysteretic behavior, originating at a microscopic level from surface tension at the point of contact between water and air in the pores. As a result, the pressure-saturation constitutive relation turns out to be of hystere…
