| Welcome Everyone |
|
Hello my name is Tanya and I am part of the Fredrickson Group [Chemical Engineering Department] at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
I am currently a third year graduate student who does research in polymer physics. I am also a IGERT fellow, which gives me the opportunity to work with
two other professors from the Mathematics department, Professor Ceniceros and Garcia-Cervera.

| Current Research |
|
I am currently modeling a binary polymer brush on the surface of a sphere.
I am also engaged in implementing a numerical simulation of semi-flexible polymers (liquid crystalline polymers) using the Kratky-Porod ideal
chain model and a Maier-Saupe pair potential of mean force.
