About Our Research
Our research is focused on the design of polymer films with unique structures, properties and functions. We use principles from polymer physics, interface science and materials processing to control the self-assembly/self-organization of polymers in bulk and near confining surfaces. Our lab capabilities include X-ray scattering (thin films, solutions, bulk), spectroscopic ellipsometry, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, optical microscopy, and contact angle goniometry. We enjoy collaborating with other faculty (in the US and abroad), scientists at DOE labs, and colleagues in industry.
Positions
The Doxastakis and Stein groups have an opening for a postdoctoral research associates as part of a collaborative research program with an industrial sponsor. The research area is Characterization of Polyolefins through molecular simulations and X-ray scattering. Position requirements are described
