Our easy-to-use program Compositional Drift enables the simulation of CRP copolymerizations, which in turn enables the visualization and quantification of the simulated monomer sequences, run lengths, composition drift, and monomer consumption. The program is useful for the study of a wide variety of polymers, and is especially useful for random heteropolymers (RHPs).

We work on the design, synthesis, and characterization of de novo designed peptides that serve as building blocks for functional biomaterials. We also seek to understand the hierarchical self-assembly of complex systems involving artificial proteins, block copolymers, and nanoparticles. In addition, we develop new functional materials at the molecular level that exhibit novel electronic, photonic, and biological properties.
