The posters below are a reflection of the breadth (as well as the depth and quality) of the research carried out in the DSC. The range of algorithmic invention and application problems represented by the posters is truly remarkable. Enjoy looking over the fruits of the intelligence, skills, and labor of our students, and join us in thanking them for their contributions to the DSC, to FSU, and to science.

Modern optical and electronic systems are very sensitive to contamination by minute particles. A group of present and former FSU researchers are studying a nano scale cleaning system in which no chemicals are used, only water and the intense energy from a laser beam. The image shows a thin film of water, deposited over a dirt particle (yellow) adhering to the surface. Laser heating of the base layer of the water lifts both the water molecules and the dirt off the surface.
