Our polymer research group focuses on supracolloidal polymer science and engineering. Design of supracolloidal structures through liquid-liquid interface driven assembly of colloidal building blocks. Heterogeneous polymerization strategies are used to fabricate a variety of structures. Current projects include:

• Core-shell microcapsules for targeted, controlled drug delivery and release
• Janus / anisotropic colloids
• Bioconjugated nanoparticle probes for molecular and cellular imaging
• L-b-L mediated assembly of phospholipid/polymer nanoparticles
• Biodegradable shape memory polymers
• DNA-driven assembly of nanoparticles
• Polymer thin films for biomedical and chemical sensor
