Engineering a better future will require the best work of researchers collaborating along the spectrum from the tiniest building blocks of materials through the complex workings of entire societal systems. We work at the micro- and nano-scale in fields like heat transfer, catalysis and 2-D materials to identify fundamental properties of matter. Our goal is not simply to conduct research, but to pursue research with positive global impact.

Anthony Kerr received his Ph.D. degree from the University of Melbourne, Australia, in 1969. He then joined the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization, Sydney, Australia, to develop cryogenic parametric amplifiers for radio astronomy. From 1971 to 1974, he worked…
Leidy Klotz is filling in underexplored overlaps between engineering and behavioral science, in pursuit of more sustainable systems. He has published over 80 peer-reviewed articles in venues that include top academic journals in built environment engineering, engineering education…
Associate Professor, Department of Chemical Engineering
We are interested in the tailored synthesis of new materials at multiple length scales. At the molecular scale, the physical properties of materials are largely dependent on the stoichiometry and stable structures that can be formed.
