The Alexander Research Team

Nature achieves feats of engineering while operating efficiently and sustainably with minimal resources. From fundamental understanding to materials design, the Alexander Research Team uses nature as inspiration to solve scientific problems related to toxin remediation and mechanics of biomaterials. Our primary research fields are chemical engineering, polymers, fibrous biomaterials, and gels.
