Welcome to the Davidson Research Group!
Our research is focused on designing, synthesizing, and guiding the assembly of soft polymeric materials to address pressing needs, particularly in health and the environment. We achieve this by working at the intersection of polymer synthesis, polymer characterization, polymer physics and self-assembly, and additive manufacturing.

Congratulations to Jiaen for passing her First Proposition exam and officially becoming a Ph.D. candidate! 💜
Amy is a Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellow at the Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment, co-advised by Professor Rodney D. Priestley. She completed her doctoral studies at Rowan University (Ph.D. 2024 in Chemical Engineering) and Drexel University under Professor Giuseppe R. Palmese. We are happy to welcome Amy to the Davidson Lab!
The Davidson Lab is proud to happy to congratulate our senior undergraduates, Ben, Ariana, Lawrence, David, Jake, and Callie, for presenting their senior theses and graduating! We wish our newly graduated members all the best in their future endeavors.
On Class Day, Lawrence and Callie both received awards for their outstanding work in materials.
Lawrence received the PMI Senior Thesis Award in recognition of his outstanding senior thesis work in materials. Callie received the Outstanding Materials Student Award in recognition of combined excellence in academics, research, and…
