Luis Blanco, an NSF GRFP fellow and new Mechanical Engineering PhD student, has joined our group! He is co-advised with Prof. Sumita Pennathur in ME and will be working on combining optical sensing with microfluidic platforms.

Yin-Chen is going to the annual AIChE meeting to present her work on reflectin protein electrochemistry.

Atlas was selected as Outstanding Senior in Chemical Engineering for 2025 based on highest scholatic performance in the department. Atlas is going on to graduate studies at MIT in the fall. Congratulations!!!

Professor Gordon was selected by the class of 2025 as the recipient of the Outstanding Chemical Engineering Faculty Award. This is the eighth time that graduating seniors have honored Gordon with the recognition.

In this work, we demonstrate electrochemically reversible triggering and condensation of reflectin protein thin films with novel in situ diagnostics inclucing electrochemical ellipsometry, surfcce plasmon resonance, and cicrular dichroism. This work deepens our understanding of biophysical processes governing cephalopod coloration but also paves the way for bio-inspired materials and devices that seamlessly integrate biological principles with synthetic systems to bridge the biotic-abiotic gap.
