Department Leadership
Professor of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science and Chemistry
My group research focus is on the synthesis of engineered microstructures with nanoscale precision, which Research in the Malmstadt laboratory focuses broadly on the topic of engineered interfaces. We study this both in terms of the central interface in biology—the cell membrane—and in microfluidic systems, where fluid-fluid and fluid-solid interfaces play key roles in system performance. We build synthetic systems for studying how lipid composition and oxidative processes change the medically relevant properties of cell membranes. We also build systems for studying how neurobiologically important receptor proteins are altered by their local lipid environment, with the long-term goal of tuning this…
Professor Chemical Engineering and Materials Science
My research focus is on materials sustainability in solar energy, electronics, and aerospace, with an emphasis on the fundamental and applied mechanics of brittle materials. My group studies deformation and fracture behavior at the micro- and nanoscales, including how chemistry and complex stress states can be controlled to improve materials utilization, durability, and performance in extreme environments. Our work spans photovoltaic semiconductors, ceramics, and thin-film coatings, with applications in wafer reuse, durable materials design, and high-throughput materials discovery and optimization.
Omar B. Milligan Chair in Petroleum Engineering and Professor of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science
My research focus is on energy transition, digital control of hydrocarbon production and transport, subsurface reservoir characterization, well testing, and unconventional reservoirs.
