Assistant Professor | School of Materials Science and Engineering | NTU Singapore | Nerding over symmetry & breaking it.
Singapore
Joined March 2012
AIChE is not over yet!! Mark your 📆 . We have put together an exciting lineup of speakers on Thursday, tomorrow morning at 8 am at Hilton Aqua Salon D. @BhamlaLab will be kicking it off with some cool science about entangled blobs of worms. @ChEnected @aiche_mesd

I have lived this dream of becoming a Professor for last 14 years, when I was an undergrad and got excited with an electron microscopy course at IIT Madras and followed my passion of imaging atoms @MkhoyanL . (2/n).

This work originated in the summer of 2020 during the height of the pandemic, when we were forced to stick to computer screens. Alex now a graduate student in Notestein lab @nu_chbe took on this beautiful journey with me of creating and simulating gold tetrahelices.

And @Ella_Maru Alex stuck it out with me through the tight deadline to create these beautiful renders of bowties. Thank you to all involved :).

Even I couldn't have explained it as simply as @kmca43 did .

Being able to decide not only whether a micron-scale particle twists but also how much could open new avenues for machine vision and more.

Imagine when this door was made, a person had a vision, their vision was crafted by several artists working locally on each section of the door. Like a crystal nucleating locally, and growing to merge into a beautiful morphology. Agra, India (n/n). @incredibleindia @susancain
