Congratulations Jaeyub on your recent publication!

<p><a title="Accurate Determination of the Equilibrium Surface Tension Values with Area Perturbation Tests" href="https://www.jove.com/video/59818/accurate-determination-equilibrium-surface-tension-values-with-area">Accurate Determination of the Equilibrium Surface Tension Values with Area Perturbation Tests</a></p>
The EOR Lab is featured in the 2018 Fall/Winter Chemical Engineering News Letter!
The lab has moved! The lab has relocated from the Bindley Bioscience Center to an 850 square foot laboratory space located in the new Flex Lab located on the Purdue's Discovery Park campus.
