LORI VERMEULEN

Associate Professor

Ph.D., Princeton

Research Interests(Full Synopsis)

Our work is focused in the design and synthesis of interesting new materials including solids, polymers, and self-assembled films. Potential applications are in optoelectronics, catalysis, separations, tissue engineering, and drug delivery. We are interested in molecular recognition, supramolecular assembly,and photophysical properties of materials.
