Biography

Ed is from Bay Shore, NY. He began doing research as a high school student with Miriam Rafailovich at SUNY Stony Brook (Stony Brook, NY) in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering. After completing a bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering at Cornell University (Ithaca, NY) in 2006, he moved to The University of Michigan (Ann Arbor, MI) and received a Ph.D. in Macromolecular Science and Engineering, under the mentorship of Kenichi Kuroda, in 2011. Following a postdoc position with Anne McNeil in the Chemistry Department at Michigan, Ed joined the faculty at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (Troy, NY) in 2014.
