Contact lines on stretched soft solids: Modeling anisotropic surface stresses
Stefanie Heyden, Nicolas Bain, Qin Xu +2
We present fully analytical solutions for the deformation of a stretched soft substrate due to the static wetting of a large liquid droplet, and compare our solutions to recently p…

Droplets sit and slide anisotropically on soft, stretched substrates
Katrina Smith-Mannschott, Qin Xu, Stefanie Heyden +3
Anisotropically wetting substrates enable useful control of droplet behavior across a range of applications. Usually, these involve chemically or physically patterning the substrat…

Functional optimality of the sulcus pattern of the human brain
Stefanie Heyden, Michael Ortiz
We develop a mathematical model of information transmission across the biological neural network of the human brain. The overall function of the brain consists of the emergent proc…
