Logan is joining the lab as a sophomore in chemical engineering and is working with Sarah and Kimia to investigate the effect of salts on peptide/peptoid complexes.
Sydney is part of the IDEAS program concentrating in chemical engineering and political science. She is currently working with a model coacervate system to generate phase diagrams utilizing small sample volumes. Her work will allow us to describe the phase behavior of systems where large sample volumes are difficult to make, allowing us to investigate how binodal curves and salt resistance shift as various system parameters such as chain length and composition are changed.
