Dr. Wendy Gu's group studies the mechanical behavior of nanomaterials. They work at the intersection of solid mechanics, materials science and nano-chemistry. They research the unique properties of nanoscale metals, ceramics and nano-architected composites in order to design strong, tough and lightweight structural materials, materials for extreme environments, and mechanically-actuated sensors. The Gu group's experimental tools include nanoindentation, electron microscopy, and colloidal synthesis.
Dr. Wendy Liu, MD, PhD, is a fellowship-trained glaucoma and cataract surgeon. Her clinical practice focuses on management of adult glaucoma and cataracts. She specializes in traditional glaucoma surgery as well as minimally-invasive glaucoma surgery, such as iStent, Hydrus, Xen, KDB, OMNI, and GATT. Her goal is to work together with patients to determine what the best treatment options are for them, so they can maintain the best vision and quality of life.
