Egap, Eilaf - Rice University - Department of Materials Science & NanoEngineering

个人简介

Eilaf was born in Athens, Ohio and grew up in New York. She received a combined B.S. and M.S. degree in Chemistry and a minor in philosophy from Stony Brook University in 2005. She earned her Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of Washington in 2011 under the guidance of Samson A. Jenekhe. Her graduate work focused on the design and synthesis of macromolecules, elucidating structure–property relationships and engineering the next generation, high–performance, low–cost organic electronics including field–effect transistors, light–emitting diodes, and photovoltaics. Eilaf then joined the laboratory of Timothy M. Swager at MIT as a postdoctoral fellow and developed a new platform of multicomponent conjugated polymer nanoparticles for in vivo imaging and target-specific drug delivery for early diagnostics and treatments of cancer. Eilaf joined the Department of Chemistry at Emory University and the Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology and Emory University in August 2014. She is also a member of the Winship Cancer Institute at Emory University.

研究领域

Our research program is highly interdisciplinary at the interface of synthetic organic chemistry, materials science, and biomedical engineering. Our research interests broadly include: Synthesis of novel and functional organic/ polymer semiconductors Device engineering (field-effect transistors, photovoltaics, organic spintronics) Self-assembly and morphology of organic/polymer semiconductors, block copolymers, nanowires and multicomponent nanostructures Multiblock copolymers for diagnostics and therapeutics
