Jeffrey F. Rhoads works on small-scale mechanical devices and materials, including tiny vibrating sensors (MEMS/NEMS resonators), chemical and gas sensors built from these devices, and the behavior of energetic materials (propellants and igniters) under vibration or heat, sometimes combined with 3D printing (additive manufacturing) techniques. His work spans engineering physics topics like nonlinear dynamics of coupled oscillators, sensor design for detecting gases or pests, and characterizing how printed composite materials burn or respond to high-frequency shaking.
