Research Interests
Wade builds models to describe polymer networks of varying complexities subjected to differential constraining parameters, including finite extensibility, non-affineness, and entanglement. In particular, Wade is interested in connecting microscopic network properties to inform macroscopic network models alongside using macroscopic data to infer microscopic conclusions.
Additional Information
Beyond the Lab: In his spare time, Wade loves taking acting classes and performing in various plays hosted by Duke. In addition to running a late-night radio show, Wade enjoys both listening to and playing music.
