Helen Minsky receives American Chemical Society award
Helen Minsky is an assistant professor of physics at Carleton.
Helen Minsky, assistant professor of physics, is the recipient of an American Chemical Society Undergraduate New Investigator (UNI) award for her project, “Flaw tolerance in adhesive elastomers.” Minsky’s systematic study, conducted with undergraduate researchers, aims to predict adhesive strength of flawed samples to better understand the limits of certain models and form a basis upon which more complex systems can be studied.
