Extending Reverse Engineering to Biology

6/1/2016 | Gregory Payne and William Bentley

In our research, we are developing novel experimental methods to characterize the redox-properties of our thin films. These characterization methods can also be extended to probe the properties of biological materials.

Observation of Structural Phase Changes Driven by Electrostatic Gating

10/13/21 | Evan J. Reed

We predicted that 2H-to-1T’ structural phase transformations in monolayer MoTe2 can be driven by electrostatic gating. Our predictions were confirmed in the lab, where our collaborators employed ionic liquids to gate the monolayer

Machine Learning-enabled Computational Discovery of Self-assembling Biocompatible Nanoaggregates

This work establishes new understanding of oligopeptide assembly, identifies promising new candidates for experimental testing, and presents a computational design platform that can be generically extended to other peptide-based and peptide-like systems.

Data Science Uncovers Key Polymer Device Process Parameter

A dataset comprising processing information and performance metrics associated with 15 DPP-DTT based OFET devices from 15 publications was curated and analyzed.Data science guided the construction of a structure-property relationship.
