Leading Researchers

Welch Regents Chair of Chemistry, Department of Chemistry, The University of Texas at Austin 

Dr. Anslyn is an expert in physical organic and supramolecular chemistry. His work over a more than three-decade career has consistently involved designing molecular systems to achieve specific functions and tasks, particularly in the areas of sensors, materials science, and mechanistic analyses. 
 

Andrew Ellington

Fraser Chair of Biochemistry, Department of Molecular Biosciences, The University of Texas at Austin

Dr. Ellington has experience in molecular and synthetic biology and is best known for his efforts in directed evolution. Ellington holds the Nancy Lee and Perry R. Bass Regents Chair in Molecular Biology and the Wilson M. and Kathryn Fraser Research Professorship in Biochemistry.
 

Emily C. Davidson

Assistant Professor, Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering, Princeton University

Dr. Davidson is a polymer scientist who leverages synthetic tools, characterization approaches, and manufacturing methods to control and tune polymer materials structure from the molecular through macroscopic (cm) length scales, with a focus on sequence effects on block copolymer assembly and tuned dynamic network structure. 

Charles Schroeder

Professor of Chemical and Biological Engineering, Princeton University

Dr. Schroeder is an expert in understanding the dynamics of soft materials, with a focus on single-molecule electronics, non-equilibrium dynamics of polymers, supramolecular assembly of proteins and pi-conjugated peptides, and automated chemical synthesis. 

Michael A. Webb

Assistant Professor, Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering, Princeton University

Webb is an expert broadly in theory, molecular simulation and in the application of machine learning for the study and design of macromolecular systems. A significant portion of his research is dedicated to the study of sequence-defined or composition-controlled polymers.
