Welcome to the Egap Lab!

The Egap lab is an interdisciplinary research team interested in developing novel and well–defined macromolecular structures, elucidate structure-property relationships, and engineer new and creative technologies that address societal challenges in human health and alternative energy. We utilize tools from synthetic organic chemistry, polymer chemistry, and biomedical engineering to investigate fundamental scientific challenges addressing applications ranging from biological imaging, diagnostics, and delivery of therapeutics, to photovoltaic and magnetic devices. Broadly, we are interested in molecular design and synthesis, self-assembly of polymeric nanomaterials, and engineering multifunctional materials with highly controlled architecture.
