Adam Braunschweig, Ph.D.

Professor, Nanoscience Initiative
Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Hunter College

The Braunschweig group leverages organic chemistry, supramolecular chemistry, and material science to address pressing medical, environmental, and electronic challenges.

Specific projects involve (1) the development of organic photovoltaics, (2) the preparation of synthetic carbohydrate receptors, and (3) 4D printing.

Research Interests

Organic Electronic Materials and in particular organic photovoltaics
Glycobiology and the development of molecules that target cell-surface glycans
Organic surface chemistry, including methodology and development of instrumentation for 4D organic nanolithography
