Professor Justin Perry

Professor

Department: Applied Sciences

I am interested in multidisciplinary projects at all TRLs, especially if there's a sustainability angle. There's room for a bit of chemistry in everything.

Justin Perry

Sustainable materials and chemical methods, especially using industrial byproducts or biosourced waste.

Creation of highly functional materials with biological or enzymatic componentry.

Biocatalysis and biotransformation using enzymes or whole organisms.

Using chemical analysis plus data science to ground-truth large data sets from drone images or photo libraries.

Chemical analysis of historical objects or works of art (especially 20th century).
