Research in the AFP group is broadly concerned with advanced functionalization of soft polymer materials employing controlled polymerization strategies and state-of-the-art synthetic technology. Precise engineering of functional materials at the molecular level is being leveraged to promote the sophisticated behavior afforded by multi-component soft matter systems. We are interested in functional materials exhibiting advanced behavior such as activated reactions, self-assembly, and responsiveness. We are producing complex polymeric systems that hold tremendous potential in various fields, such as nano-technology and nano-lithography; adaptive biomaterials; advanced separations and ultrafiltration; energy storage and light harvesting. Throughout our work, we strive to utilize state-of-the-art, sustainable approaches and target sustainable applications. We demand a more responsible use of the precious resources we employ, and encourage the upcoming generation of scientist to build their foundations upon this premise.
