Professor Bazuin’s group uses block copolymers and supramolecular chemistry to design new self-assembled polymer materials, in bulk and in thin films, for applications such as nanosensors and optics.

Atmospheric particles influence the climate and harm public health. The research in Professor Hayes’ group seeks to better understand the chemistry of these aerosols, which is necessary to determine their environmental impact. In addition, the group is also interested in the chemistry of mineral surfaces.

Professor Pellerin and his group focus on characterizing the structure and dynamics of polymers and self-assembled materials. They are particularly interested in the formation of nanofibers by electrospinning, molecular glasses and supramolecular complexes. They also develop novel infrared and Raman spectroscopy techniques.

Professor Schmitzer’s research combines organic, bio-organic and supramolecular chemistry, with the goal of gaining insight into how molecular recognition and motion can be combined, for the development of new catalytic systems and new transmembrane transporters.

Professor Wuest’s group uses organic and inorganic synthesis as a tool for multidisciplinary exploration of materials science, surface science and nanoscience.
