Research Focus

We are a laboratory focused on creating materials for practical applications like providing clean water, or creating materials that limit release of small molecules into the environment, or designing interfaces for energy applications. The common thread is a need for a molecular-level picture of interactions between multiple species at the interface modulated by interaction with the bulk material on both sides of the surface. Thus, all projects rest on a base of inventing novel instruments or extending existing ones to new frontiers. To learn more, visit our research page.
