Principal Investigator
Materials Department, UCSB
ananyarb@ucsb.edu
Ananya is interested in how patterns form in materials and how those patterns in turn affect the materials behavior.
Postdoctoral Researcher
Materials Department, UCSB
taozhang@ucsb.edu
Tao is investigating how battery materials fracture and how microstructural patterns form during charge/discharge cycles.
