For many years, I have been fascinated by the incredible ways nature builds and organizes itself, from the smallest molecules to vast ecosystems. This curiosity led me to explore the world of bio-inspired functional polymers and nanocomposites, where I could blend my fascination with nature's principles and my passion for engineering innovative materials. As an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at the University of British Columbia, I utilize bio-based materials for advanced applications.
