About
Research Statement:
Theodore is currently working on surface-energy-patterning of metal substrates and their application in heat transfer in order to create energy-efficient systems for high-demand cooling applications.
Activities/Hobbies outside of research:
Theodore is interested in sports, martial arts, traveling, and cooking.
Previous Research Experience:
Theodore’s undergraduate research was titled ‘Evaluation of a new methodology for the effect of load variation on Diesel engine combustion pressure.’
