Droplet growth kinetics on superhydrophobic surfaces and future work on combating cryogenic surface contamination
… Specifically, I propose to use a functionalized (biphilic) surface to getter water onto a small percentage (< 5 %) of the cryogenic surface, thus maintaining an overall low-emissivity. I aim to determine whether (1) the spatial control of water nucleation that the biphilic surface exhibits in …

Droplet evaporation dynamics on surfaces
… have been developed including hydrophobic, biphilic and lubricantinfused surfaces. However, evaporation of droplets on these surfaces have not been explored in depth. Traditionally, evaporation on surfaces was characterized by observing the temporal size changes of a droplet. Yet, the …

Evaporation from nanoporous membranes
… from nanopores was developed, where a biphilic membrane, i.e., a membrane with two wetting behaviors, was used for enhanced experimental control to allow characterization of the importance of different design parameters. This improved setup was then used to demonstrate the dependence of …

DRIVING NOVEL REACTIVITY BY DECODING THE ELECTRONIC STRUCTURE OF NONTRIGONAL PHOSPHORUS TRIAMIDES
… of the pairwise frontier orbitals that govern biphilic reactivity and offers a routine and facile method by which to analyze future compounds. Next, the properties of nontrigonal phosphorus compounds as ligands for transition metals is investigated, showing an increasing in π-backbonding that …

Harnessing Aluminum Radicals via Heterobimetallic Complexes for Small-molecule Activation
… and strained coordination geometries, to impart biphilic character to aluminum radicals and precisely tune their reactivity, alongside heterobimetallic frameworks that enable the generation of “masked” Al(II) species capable of small-molecule activation. These systems exhibit diverse and …

Scalable Micro/Nanostructured Surfaces for Thin-Film Condensation Heat Transfer Enhancement in Steam Power Plants
… approaches. First, we proved the concept using biphilic, microchannel-assisted hierarchical copper surfaces made of commercially available copper foams and copper meshes. Condensation heat transfer on the hierarchical copper surfaces was characterized to be up to 2x as compared to the …
