Barbara Groh (Bar-bra Grow)

She/Her

Graduate Student Research Assistant

University of Texas at Austin 

Short Bio: Having completed her undergraduate degree at Duke University with several research experiences under her belt, Barbara Groh began research in materials science early in her career. At the University of Texas at Austin, Barbara's master's thesis focused on measuring deformation of flexible films during manufacturing by using a unique property of light interacting with the films known as the photoelastic effect. Recently, her research has advanced to using atomic force microscopy to measure micro/nanoscale patterns during roll-to-roll manufacturing. She has also spent two years as a TA for an intro to engineering class at UT and doing research on the impact of course updates to student learning. As a member of the ME graduate student board, she is also committed to creating a welcoming and inclusive environment to all graduate students in the department.
