Wright Research Group

The Wright Lab is in the Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Department of the Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science at the University of California, Los Angeles. We are interested in discovering transformative technologies and fundamental scietific advances at the interface of biology, chemistry, and material science through applications of polymer-based biomaterials.

We take pride in fostering a diverse and inclusive environment that represents a safe and respectful place for all individuals regardless of gender, race, nationality, religion, ability, or sexual orientation. In creating such an environment, we are committed to justice, freedom of speech, and learning from one another while challenging each other to bring out our best. As a team, we also believe that scientific discoveries occur when data and quantitative observations pervade all scientific inquiry, and when diversity of race, gender, and perspectives infuse fresh thinking.

We currently have openings for undergraduate and graduate student positions. Prospective graduate students (Ph.D. and M.S.) should apply to our graduate programs in the Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering Department website. Interested undergraduate students should state their interest directly to Prof. Wright. 

We are unfortunately not recruiting postdoctoral scholars at this time. Please check back soon!
