Paul Patrone

Paul Patrone is a CNST/UMD Graduate Student Researcher in the Nanofabrication Research group. He received his B.A. from St. John's College and is currently pursuing his M.S. in Applied Mathematics and Ph.D. in Physics at the University of Maryland, College Park. Paul is a Monroe H. Martin Graduate Research Fellow and NIST-ARRA Graduate Fellow. His graduate research is focused on applying stochastic calculus and mean field techniques to model the growth of vicinal surfaces and two dimensional interfaces. In the CNST, Paul is working with Gregg Gallatin to develop computational models of self-assembly of colloidal particles and statistical fluctuations in block copolymer systems.
