About Us

Undergrad Cayden Fernandez showing high school students how to make polymers (summer 2022)

We do polymer chemistry!

The group's interests primarily lie in polymer chemistry. We interested in a host of polymer-related technologies, ranging from biomaterials and hydrogels, nanocomposites, polymer photochemistry, and living radical polymerization techniques such as ATRP, RAFT and NMP.
