Research
The world is dominated by fundamental interactions between molecules and materials. In my research, I try to understand these interactions and engineer materials from a molecular level. In my current research, I focus mostly on interactions between molecules and stimulus-responsive coatings in an effort to work towards a more efficient separation of proteins and small molecules.
