Jessica Ray
Jessica Ray is the Robert O. and Irene V. Sylvester Family Endowed Assistant Professor in Water Resources in the College of Civil & Environmental Engineering. My group's research bridges environmental chemistry, chemical engineering and materials science to develop novel treatment technologies to remove or degrade contaminants in the urban water supply. We heavily rely on surface chemistry techniques to characterize the physicochemical properties of our materials to probe their structure-function relationship with respect to targeted contaminants.

My work seeks to study the advantages of the anisotropic nature and flexibility of composites to enable the passive morphing capabilities that improve the overall energy efficiency, structural capacity, and dynamic stability of Marine-Hydrokinetic (MHK) turbine blades used for flow kinetic energy harvesting. With the goal of establishing a comprehensive mechanical characterization of the MHK blades, careful design and testing of the blades will be carried out in order to account for the inherent load-dependent deformations and to avoid potential material failures and hydro-elastic instabilities (resonance, parametric excitations, divergence, flutter, buffeting, etc). By designing, manufacturing, modeling, testing, and analyzing these blades, my research will...
