Dr. Arun Devaraj

Materials scientists studying processing-microstructure-property relationships dream of knowing how the processing influences the exact location of each atom in a material and how that impacts its properties. Such detailed understanding of material microstructure can inform novel solid phase material processing...

UCR's fluid dynamics research groups attended 12th annual Southern California Flow Physics Symposium (SoCal Fluids) at USC earlier this month. This was a great opportunity to present their exciting and diverse work, which included ice floes tracking in the North pole, collective motion of organisms in the ocean, wildfires, bubbles and more! . . . . . . #california #research #meatucr#ucrhiglander #ucr #lifeatucr #collegelife #iamanengineer #stem #engineering#science
