Research
Research in the Meyer Group is a collaborative effort that involves faculty, graduate students and undergraduates. We focus on two major areas: 1) the use of sequence to control the polymer properties and 2) the development of polymeric materials that respond to electrical signals. For sequence control, we target applications in drug delivery and optoelectronics while our work in electroresponsive polymers is directed at creating materials that would be moldable interfaces or be parts of soft robotic mechanisms.
The Group
Research in the Meyer Group is a collaborative effort that involves faculty, graduate students and undergraduates. We actively seek collaborations with other research groups and work to address fundamental questions in polymer chemistry and materials science.
The Department of Chemistry
The graduate program at the University of Pittsburgh is internationally recognized for its excellence in chemical research and education. The department provides its graduate students with an integrated program of creative, independent research, course work, and teaching. The quality of the department's research programs and the accessibility of its faculty will offer you unparalleled opportunities for individualized training and success.
