Rakesh is working on his Ph.D. in ChBE and joined the group in Fall 2004. He did his B.S. in ChemE at IIT-Kharagpur in India and then spent a year doing research at the National Chemical Labs in Pune. Rakesh's research is on light and temperature-responsive fluids based on molecular self-assembly and has resulted in papers in JACS and Langmuir. For his research, Rakesh received the Wylie Fellowship for Fall 2008 and also earned 3rd place at the Grad Student Conference (GRID) at UMD. |

Matt is pursuing his Ph.D. in BioE and joined UMD in Fall 2005. He received a B.S. in ChemE from Notre Dame. Matt is the recipient of the Fischell Fellowship in BioE and was an invited speaker at the BioE dept. innaugration in Dec 2005. His research focuses on new materials for drug delivery and wound healing and is in collaboration with the UM Pharmacy and Medical Schools. Matt is also the CEO of Remedium Technologies, a startup company formed to commercialize his discoveries. Recently, his research on wound dressings has been featured in a news segment on WJZ-TV. |

Tosin joined the group in Dec 2005 after completing her Ph.D in ChemE at UMD working with Prof. Sheryl Ehrman on aerosol nanoparticles. She has a B.S. in ChemE from North Carolina State University. Tosin's research is on the ability of vesicles to penetrate through skin and thereby deliver drugs or cosmetics. She is being co-advised by Dr. Bob Bronaugh of the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, FDA. |
