J. R. Saylor joined the Department of Mechanical Engineering in 2000. His research interests concern problems where air/water interfaces are important, such as the study of drops, bubbles, and waves. Prior to coming to Clemson, Saylor worked at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) in Washington, D.C., where he studied capillary waves and surfactants. Prior to NRL, Saylor was the senior engineer of a high-technology startup company that used microfluidics in the development of medical technologies. He is a member of the American Physical Society (APS) and Sigma Xi, and is a Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME).
