Harley is the first CSE IGERT doctoral graduate! February 7th, 2006, Harley defended his thesis entitled, "Dynamics of a model for nematic liquid crystalline polymers in planar shear and pressure-driven channel flows." Harley obtained a post-doc position at the University of Leeds working on the Microscale Polymer Processing project, which is part of the Polymer Interdisciplinary Research Center.
Harley says, "due to the collaborative and multidisciplinary nature of the IGERT program, my research has provided me with the numerical and analytical skills and versatility within the computational modeling environment necessary for success in a field where the interdisciplinary nature of large-scale computational fluid dynamics generally requires interaction outside of one's area of expertise."
