Lucien N. Brush is an Associate Professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Washington. He earned his Ph.D. in Metallurgical Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University in 1988, completing both a Master’s and Bachelor’s degree in similar fields. His research focuses on Computational Theoretical Materials Processing, particularly the mathematical modeling of material behaviors and processing methods to understand observed phenomena in materials science. He is particularly interested in phase transitions and interfacial phenomena, especially in thin film hydrodynamics. His work encompasses the dynamics and stability of metallic foams and the application of gas-liquid metallic foams in various transportation vehicle technologies. Brush also investigates the spin-coating process for photovoltaic devices and self-assembly in colloidal suspensions for environmental sensing applications. He has numerous publications contributing to fluid mechanics and crystal growth kinetics, reflecting significant contributions to understanding the effects of external forces on crystal growth. Brush is recognized for his teaching and contributions to research, having received multiple awards, including UW Materials Science & Engineering Faculty of the Year.
