Research Interests
Dr. Riedo and her group are interested in the study of the molecular-scale behavior of soft matter at a solid boundary surface. Since joiing the faculty of Georgia Tech in August 2003 as an Assistant Professor, Dr. Riedo has performed several studies on nanotribology, nanomechanics, nanoconfined liquids, and chemical nanolithography.
