I spent my first ten years on the faculty at MIT in the Department of Mathematics, where I led the Nonlinear Electrokinetics Group, Dry Fluids Laboratory, and Applied Mathematics Computational Laboratory. I joined the Department of Chemical Engineering in December 2008, while retaining a joint appointment in Mathematics. My research now combines mathematical modeling more closely with experiments, and I enjoy working with students from both departments.
