Making polymeric device surfaces visible with ZIF-8 coatings
From molecular chirality to bulk spin–charge transport
An effective-medium theory connects disorder and molecular orientation to macroscopic transport.
Our perspective
Structure shapes behavior.
Across scales.
A molecule’s handedness can influence spin-dependent transport. A material’s pore geometry changes how molecules move. The mechanics of a cell’s surroundings can alter its immune response.
We study these connections between structure and dynamics across chemical, physical, and biological systems. Our work brings together fundamental chemical physics, biological mechanisms, and models that can be tested against observations.
