Math Modeling Seminar
A Survey of Math Models in Curtain Coating

Dr. David Ross
Professor
School of Mathematical Sciences, RIT

Abstract
:

Curtain coating is used to produce thin coatings on surfaces for various purposes: chemically sensitive coatings for blood tests; light-filtering coatings on windows to protect again ultraviolet rays; paint coatings on machine parts to make them attractive; frosting coatings on doughnuts to make them tastier. In this talk, Professor Ross will discuss the purpose and structure of several models of the fluid mechanics, and one model of the surface chemistry, of coating curtains. He will discuss the importance of these models to the application field, and he’ll also touch on a couple of neat PDE problems.

Speaker Bio:
Dr. David Ross took his BA from Columbia and his PhD from NYU, both in mathematics. He worked for A.T.&T, Eastman Kodak, and Kaiser Permanente and its spinoff Archimedes before settling in to the School of Mathematical Sciences in 2006. His primary mathematical interests are PDE and dynamical systems, always associated with applications. Earlier in his career, those applications were primarily in fluid mechanics, solid mechanics, and industrial chemistry. These days those applications are mostly in biophysics, biochemistry, and pharmaceutical research. Read more here.

Intended Audience:
Undergraduates, graduates, and experts. Those with interest in the topic. 

The Math Modeling Seminar will recur each week throughout the semester on the same day and time. Find out more about upcoming speakers on the Mathematical Modeling Seminar Series webpage.
