Connie B. Roth

Connie Roth is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics at Emory University.  Connie received her B.Sc. in Physics at McMaster University (Ontario, Canada), and her M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Polymer Physics at the University of Guelph (Ontario, Canada).  She also completed post-doctoral positions at Simon Fraser University (British-Columbia, Canada) and Northwestern University (Chicago, IL).  Connie has been a faculty member at Emory since 2007.

Connie's research interests include the study of physical properties and dynamics of polymer molecules, glass transition, structural relaxation, and viscoelastic deformations.  Designing of advanced materials, and tuning of material properties at the nanoscale through blends and composites.  Understanding surface and interfacial interactions at the nanoscale in thin films, membranes, coatings, multilayer films, nanocomposites, nanostructured blends, and foams.  How are the dynamics and physical properties of polymer molecules affected by interactions between different components within a system?
