Our group is interested in frugal science/innovation, the ability to minimize cost and complexity while providing efficient solutions to better human conditions. We are, by necessity, an inter-disciplinary physical-organic/materials research group interested in engineering soft matter, and understanding surfaces and interfaces at all size scales. Our research focuses on the development of a generalized framework for engineering structures and ultimately functional devices via self-assembly and/or stacking of molecules, films, or layers of materials, to introduce new function(s) or utility.
