Bradley F. Chmelka Field: Chemical Engineering
Packard Fellowship award year: 1993
Research Interests
ur research is motivated by the need to understand at a molecular level the fabrication and functions of new catalysts, adsorbents, porous ceramics, and heterogeneous polymers. These broad categories of technologically important materials are linked by their crucial dependencies on local order/disorder, which often governs macroscopic process or device performance. We are broadly interested in heterogeneous solids, whose sizable variations in local ordering and dynamics have pronounced influences on the adsorption, reaction, optical, or mechanical properties of these materials. Through development and application of state-of-the-art techniques of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, we observe many common molecular features among these diverse systems, which provide new insights and design intuition for our materials chemistry and engineering objectives. We benefit from close collaborative research relationships with a number of industrial partners and foreign laboratories.
