Research Interests: Surface and interfacial properties of polymers, phase transitions in polymers, directed self-assembly processes, the use of polymers as scaffolds and templates for the generation of nanoscopic structures, the interfacial assembly of nanoparticles, hierarchical ordering of synthetic and biologically-based systems, wrinkling and crumpling of thin polymer films, polymers in ionic liquids, and the structure and morphology of polymer-based photovoltaic materials.
