Dr. Marilyn Minus is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at  Northeastern University in Boston, MA, USA.  Prior to joining the faculty at Northeastern she was a Research Scientist at Georgia Institute of Technology in the School of Polymer, Textile, and Fiber Engineering.

Dr. Minus’ research interests concern the structure-property relationships in nano-composites.  Dr. Minus’ research is also focused in the area of fabrication and characterization of advanced high-performance polymer nano-composites.  Polymers of interest include mainly those of linear architectures and biopolymers.  Her work also looks at the interfacial interaction of these polymers with carbon nano-materials to understand morphological behavior in high-performance composites.

Dr. Minus is a member of the Society of Plastic Engineers, American Chemical Society, and Materials Research Society.
