Analytical Chemistry and Materials Chemistry

Integrating the structure dependent function of self-assembling proteins and biopolymers into flexible devices for applications ranging from catalysis to wearable electronics. Current Research Interests Our laboratory is an interdisciplinary group that works at the interface of bio-analytical chemistry, materials science, and design. Our primary research focus is building the structure dependent function of self-assembling proteins into macromolecular materials. We will use inkjet printing, a rapid prototyping, non-destructive technique, to manufacture protein fibers, films, and fabrics and incorporate analytical tools such as uniaxial tensile testing, electrochemistry, and spectrophotometric assays to characterize their properties. Based on their bulk structure and composition, these protein based materials are integrated with non-biological materials to be used for applications including catalysis, diagnostic assays, flexible displays, and wearable electronics.
