MIRICA GROUP

The research in the Mirica Group focuses on addressing challenges in healthcare, environmental stewardship, and microelectronics through innovations in Materials Chemistry. We aim to design and synthesize stimuli-responsive materials for deployment in mobile chemical sensors and microelectronic devices. An important aspect of research in the group is a feedback loop between fundamental and applied science, where the fundamental understanding of interactions of small molecules with responsive materials is used, probed, and refined in functional devices. Materials and methods developed in the group may also be applicable to information storage, and energy storage, conversion, and catalysis...
