School of Physics, Georgia Tech

At her picoForce Laboratory (http://riedo.gatech.edu/), she studies interaction forces at solid and liquid interfaces. These studies have a strong impact in nanotechnology, atmospheric sciences, biology, nano and bio-mechanics.

Inquiring Minds @ Tech is a free public lecture series on the physical sciences held Thursday evenings by a Georgia Tech faculty member. These talks are open to everyone and hope to foster a sense of wonder and curiosity of nature. At the end of each session there will be a question and answer period with the speaker. Come prepared to interact with some of the scientific leaders that live here in the Atlanta community.
