Professor Rein Ulijn in the Department of Chemistry teaches courses in nanotechnology. His research focus is nanoscale chemistry, biochemistry and physical chemistry.
See Contact DetailsRein Ulijn received a MS from the Wageningen University, Netherlands and a PhD from Strathclyde University, UK. He did his postdoc at the University of Edinburgh. At Hunter College he teaches courses in nanotechnology and conducts research on the development of minimalistic molecular materials and systems that are inspired by biology and have unique properties, such as adaptability, molecular recognition and programmability.
Research Statement
The Ulijn Lab is focused on the use of simple versions of the molecular building blocks of life to produce materials and systems with controllable structural, photonic, electronic, and biological properties. These properties open up wide-ranging applications in energy, biomedicine, environmental protection, food, cosmetics, and personal care.
