We use biomimetic self-assembly, molecular design, and microfluidics to address real-world challenges. Part of the Dept. of Chemical Engineering @UMassAmherst.
So excited to partner with Charles Sing to work on this project!
ChE Professor Sarah Perry is the principal investigator on a four-year, $636,834 award from the NSF to support her groundbreaking research to engineer materials that can modify the assembly of surfactants to improve the usefulness of numerous nano-scale structures.

Check out the awesome new paper from our group, just published in Biomacromolecules (doi.org/10.1021/acs....)! We looked at sequence effects in peptide complex coacervates. In addition to phase behavior studies, we also identified some really cool rheological phenomena!

Congratulations @jcconrad.bsky.social!!!
My PhD mentor (and lifelong friend) @jcconrad.bsky.social has been elected 2024 Fellow of AAAS! 🥳🥳

This election recognizes her profound contribution to Physics and Science but what may be missed is her tireless and heartfelt mentorship. I would not be the scientist I am without her. Congrats Jaci!

Electrospinning of Self-Assembling Oligopeptides into Nanofiber Mats: The Impact of Peptide Composition and End Groups
Low-molecular-weight oligopeptides can be electrospun into nanofiber mats. However, the mechanism underlying their electrospinnability is not well-understood. In this study, we used solid-phase peptid...
