Welcome to (Organic) Material Science and Engineering Lab !
Our research at the (Organic)Materials Science and Engineering (OโMatSE) Laboratory is inspired by Natureโs ability to orchestrate complex functions through dynamic, adaptive, and self-organized molecular systems. We utilize the power of organic chemistry, supramolecular self-assembly, and stimuli-responsive materials to design life-inspired functional systems that operate in aqueous, Nature-like environments.ย
By engineering organic scaffolds that respond to external stimuli such as light, ultrasound, and redox signals, we seek to achieve precise spatiotemporal control over (organo)catalysis, molecular organization, controlled release, and therapeutic delivery. Using advanced spectroscopic and microscopic techniques, we uncover the fundamental structureโfunction relationships that govern these adaptive systems.ย
Our long-term vision is to bridge chemistry and biology by developing next-generation biomimetic materials for sustainable catalysis, biomedicine, and environmental remediation, while advancing the fundamental science of dynamic molecular systems.
