Daeyeon Lee Evan C Thompson Term Chair for Excellence in Teaching Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering B.S. Chemical Engineering, Seoul National University, 2001 Ph.D. Chemical Engineering, MIT, 2007 Postdoctoral training: Experimental Soft Condensed Matter Group, School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Harvard University, 2007-2008 email: daeyeon@seas.upenn.edu phone: 215.573.4521 Current Focus of Research The vision of Soft Materials Research and Technology (SMART) Laboratory is to develop deep understanding of the interactions between soft materials (e.g., polymers, colloids and biologicals, etc.) near or at interfaces. We seek to extend the obtained knowledge to direct the assembly of macroscopic structures that have designed properties and functionality. Recent projects in the group include highthroughput synthesis and screening of soft matter/biological systems, infiltration of polymers into nanoparticle packings, interfacial complexation of polymers and nanoparticles, and development of bicontinuous biphasic systems for conversion and separations applications.
