Faculty mentor: Thomas Zangle

In my research, I followed up on an observation in the Zangle lab where when uncured PDMS was poured onto a cured PDMS microwell mold, the PDMS microwell mold instantaneously buckled at all points in the array. In my research, I first characterized the buckling after recreating it in the laboratory setting. After recreating it in the laboratory setting, I then created a COMSOL simulation that would replicate the swelling that occured.
