Levinson-Shapiro Faculty Scholar and Assistant Professor of Chemistry at the University of Rochester Contact: |
Ben was a graduate student in the group investigating the influence of molecular chirality on structural order in arrays of helical supramolecular assemblies and the generation of novel supramolecular architectures via memory effects. He previously studied at the University of Oxford, UK, where he researched halogen bonding interlocked architectures with Prof. Paul D. Beer. During his time at Penn, he has been a Thouron Awardee (2013–2015) and currently holds a Howard Hughes Medical Institute International Student Research Fellowship.
