Polymer chemistry & soft materials
Connecting molecular reactivity, polymer architecture, and processing to control how materials form, function, and adapt.
Using controlled chemical activation to build thermosets and soft materials directly within supporting media. This work connects polymerization chemistry with the freedom to fabricate intricate, multimaterial structures.
Embedded printing · Interfacial polymerization
Designing polymer networks that recover after damage or relax stress through molecular exchange. My research spans self-healing thermosets and crosslinker design for tunable viscoelastic behavior.
Self-healing · Network dynamics · RheologyInvestigating how molecular architecture and interfacial chemistry control surface behavior. My broader interests include sustainable materials and PFAS-free approaches to liquid-repellent surfaces.
