Our research is interested in the design and production of novel materials, and the boundaries between different states of matter. We work to create new solvents, energy materials, self-assembled and chiral materials, nanomaterials, and states of matter between liquids and solids. We are also researching new applications in energy production and storage, gas/molecule capture, vaccine conservation and degradable plastics.
