Faraday Instability at Interfaces

This project was looking at finding values of interfacial tension values of low melting metals and dielectrics. Faraday instabilities were observed when the test cell was forced. Resonance frequencies were found and these voltages were used to find thermophysical properties. I participated in two parabolic flight campaigns to collect data in microgravity conditions.

My responsibilities include video analysis and processing large amounts of data. Organizing and combining all data and producing interfacial and surface tension values.
