We are very pleased to announce that Dr Luke Connal has joined MSDE as an Associate Editor

Luke Connal is an Associate Professor at the Research School of Chemistry at the Australian National University (ANU) where he is an ANU Futures Fellow.  His research program is in the design of advanced polymeric materials for applied systems. He has been recognised by numerous awards such as the ACS Chemical and Engineering News Talented 12. You can follow him on Twitter @LukeConnal.

 

Quote from Luke: I love the term molecular engineering - I believe this is at the heart of new matreials and applications. To design new materials with interesting properties you need to start from the molecular level. Molecular engineering is a great term that describes the intersection of different fields, including chemistry, materials engineering and biology. In the future I hope these traditional silos break down and we are thinking about molecular engineering in a general way to achieve our desired outcomes.
