Gerald Fuller is a Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Stanford University, specializing in the processing of complex liquids including polymers, suspensions, emulsions, and biological fluids. His research focuses on the microstructure orientation and deformation of these materials, employing various advanced optical techniques such as rheometry, polarimetry, and fluorescence microscopy. Fuller is dedicated to understanding how these materials respond to flow conditions, investigating phenomena such as the deformation of red blood cells and the structure of tear films. His laboratory utilizes a range of instrumentation for characterizing material behavior under different flow conditions, aiming to produce real-time measurements of molecular microdomains. Over the years, Fuller has contributed significantly to the field of rheology, receiving multiple honors including the Fletcher Jones Professorship and the Bingham Medal. He is an elected member of the National Academy of Engineering and has served on various professional committees and boards. Fuller's work has vast industrial implications, including the processing of emulsions, foams, and ink-jet printing. Throughout his career, he has been committed to fostering undergraduate research and mentoring students in his field.
