Geoffrey M. Geise, associate professor at the University of Virginia, earned a B.S. degree in chemical engineering from the Pennsylvania State University and an M.S.E. and Ph.D. from the University of Texas at Austin. At UVA, his research focuses on studying the fundamentals of chemically- and electrochemically-driven small molecule transport.
Prof. Giri graduated from Chemical Engineering at Stanford University, working on the crystallization control of organic semiconductors for flexible electronic applications. His postdoctoral work focused on the use of microfluidics and continuous flow processing for pharmaceutical industry.
Our group focuses on the synthesis of well-defined nanoparticles, their dispersion into polymer solutions and melts, and their suspension rheology. With our fundamental studies, we seek to optimize processing to achieve a desirable microstructure in industrial suspensions, and to set a foundation for developing constitutive rheological models.

Associate Professor, Department of Chemical Engineering
We are interested in the tailored synthesis of new materials at multiple length scales. At the molecular scale, the physical properties of materials are largely dependent on the stoichiometry and stable structures that can be formed.
