Research Description

I am interested in designing and developing functional polymer-based materials for energy harvesting, carbon capture, and biomedical applications. Using a variety of analytical instrumentation and synthetic techniques, we focus on understanding the relationship between chemical structure and material properties to guide our understanding and development of functional polymers.
