Nanoparticle Experimentation
Research Statement
Elon's current research focus involves the
investigation of the slurry flowfield and pressure field during
chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) of micro- /nano-scale devices. The
goal of his research is to gain insight into the physics behind CMP and
assist in developing a generalized CMP model that can be used for a
variety of suspended particle flow lubrication situations.
