Explores polymer synthesis basics, including step and radical chain polymerization, molecular weight control, copolymerization, and crosslinked polymers for microengineering.
Explores statistical inference, sufficiency, and completeness, emphasizing the importance of sufficient statistics and the role of complete statistics in data reduction.
Explores autonomously moving and assembling soft matter systems, focusing on hydrogel actuators, latch-mediated spring actuation, and self-spinning filament bundles.
