Student Highlights: Matthew Brown

Currently in pursuit of a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, Matt’s research focuses on characterizing the fundamental properties of cool flames produced while burning heptane and solid materials such as high-density polyethylene. Insights into cool flame low-temperature chemistry could lead to reduced engine knock or higher efficiency engines.

Student Highlights: Alex Fox

Alex Fox grew up in New York City and has always been interested in the underlying mechanics of the natural world. He received a BA in Mathematics and Physics at Oberlin College (2018), where he studied Astrophysics and Gravitation. After growing interested in the impacts that (mis)management has on our water and agricultural resources, he started to explore how he could apply his physics background to study these issues.
