Jonathan David Nickels , PHD

Our research focus is the structure and dynamics of soft matter and biological materials.

We use a deconstructionist approach to systematically investigate the structure and dynamics of soft matter systems (biological, polymeric, small molecules). We focus on the consequences of molecular events upon relevant properties at the nano, micro and macro scales. 

This research is highly interdisciplinary, informing applied disciplines such as Chemical and Environmental Engineering, Materials Science, and Biomedical Engineering, as well as fundamental scientific fields such as Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Biophysics. We utilize both experimental approaches such as light, x-ray and neutron sacattering in addtion to computational appraoches such as molecular dynamics simulations.
