Fog Harps: Elastocapillarity, Droplet Dynamics, and Optimization
Fog harvesting is emerging as a promising means to ease the water shortage crisis in arid regions of the world with ample fog. The current state-of-the-art for fog harvesting is mesh netting, which is accessible yet struggles from a dual constraint: a course mesh lets most microscopic fog droplets …

Elastocapillarity: adhesion and large deformations of thin sheets
This thesis is concerned with the deformation and adhesion of thin elastic sheets that come into contact with an underlying substrate. The focus of this work is on the interplay between material and geometric properties of a system and how this interplay determines the equilibrium states of sheet …

Micro-Pipette Aspiration for Hyperelastic and Poroelastic Material
… with applied pressure, parameterized by elastocapillarity length scale. The reaction forces experienced by the continuum due to contact are also illustrated before incorporating the characteristics of poroelasticity, into mixed finite element formulation. The transition of stress, …
