Welcome to The Cornelius Research Group

Polymer science and engineering fundamentals are used to investigate material properties, and probe their application for gas separations, water desalination, energy storage, and fuel conversion. We specialize in polymer synthesis and characterization, stressing structure-property-function relationships with a focus on transport and thermodynamics. Our team values diverse backgrounds, collaboration, and elucidating research questions.
