Decoding Functional Molecular Systems

Inverse design and self-assembly of functional materials at the interface of chemistry and biochemistry

We build science by building people

We try to understand how complex chemical systems work and organize themselves so that we can develop new materials and chemical functions. To accomplish this, we combine computer modeling and laboratory experiments.

Computational Chemistry

Electronic structure of molecules using digital imagination

Materials Science

From molecules to functional materials for N₂ fixation and memory storage

Biochemistry

At the crossroads of chemistry and life

Teaching

Sharing knowledge with clarity and curiosity

Mentoring

Supporting people to grow and thrive in science

Values

Collaboration, openness, and people first
