Biography

Professor David S. Corti is the Interim Head and Executive Officer of the Davidson School of Chemical Engineering at Purdue University, where he has been a faculty member since 1998. He holds a Bachelor's degree from the University of Pennsylvania and both a Master's and Ph.D. from Princeton University. Corti's research interests include the thermophysical properties of soft condensed-phase systems, coloidal dispersions, and the molecular mechanisms affecting their stability. He employs theoretical simulation techniques to investigate interparticle forces and their impact on the stability of dispersions critical for industries such as pharmaceuticals and inks. His recent work has delved into coalescence processes of drops and bubbles, providing insights into the molecular-level mechanisms governing these phenomena. Corti also contributes to molecular thermodynamics, developing algorithms to ensure accurate and consistent representation in statistical mechanics. He has received numerous accolades, including the NSF CAREER Award and the Kimberly-Clark Teaching Award, acknowledging his contributions to engineering education and mentoring.
