Synthesis of zeolites and molecular sieves; Synthesis of catalytic materials; Synthesis of biomaterials; Gene therapy
Profile
Assistant: Matt Buga
The central theme of the Mark E. Davis research group is the use of chemical engineering concepts (synthetic chemistry and analytical engineering problem solving) to answer important fundamental questions in the physical and life sciences.
Current research entails designs for the synthesis of inorganic and hybrid, organic-inorganic materials for catalysis and biocompatible materials for the delivery of macromolecular therapeutics.
