Biography

Joontaek Park is an associate teaching professor in the Department of Chemical and Biomedical ÌÇÐÄVlog´«Ã½. He was an assistant professor in the Department of Chemical and Biochemical ÌÇÐÄVlog´«Ã½ at Missouri University of Science and Technology. His research interest is theoretical and numerical modeling of complex fluids, which include modeling of shape-based particle separation using field flow fractionation, modeling of entangled polymers and computational fluid dynamics simulations of non-Newtonian fluids, such as cement flows, polymer melt extrusion in 3D printing, cleaning debris on complex parts from additive manufacturing using non-Newtonian fluids (funded by Honeywell), and microbubble streaming of a weakly viscoelastic polymer solution (funded by NSF).
