Research
Surface science and its interdisciplinary impact on catalysis, emulsions, and liquid interfacial synamics comprise a major segment of Professor Mann's research. His theoretical and experimental studies concern interfacial transport, liquid crystals, Langmuir-Blodgett films, liquid metals, wetting and the application of the theory of stochastic processes to surface science.
Professor Mann has expertise not only in chemical engineering but also in chemical physics and biophysics. He has received several distinguished awards and fellowships and organized international meetings, and is active in the colloid and surface chemistry community world wide.
