Andrew Peters is an assistant professor in Chemical Engineering at Louisiana Tech University. His research focuses on structural, thermodynamic, and dynamic phenomena in ordered soft matter systems using advanced simulation methods supplemented by experiment. The fundamentals of block copolymer phase separation and polymer dynamics are applied to facilitate nanoscale control in various contexts.

He earned his doctorate in chemical engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology with Professor Clifford Henderson, where he investigated diblock copolymer phase separation and directed self-assembly using coarse-grained molecular dynamics models. After leaving Georgia Tech, he was a postdoctoral associate at the University of Minnesota where he studied chain exchange and relaxation times in micelle forming triblock systems with Professor Timothy Lodge.
