Emily Pentzer, an assistant professor of chemistry, was named associate editor of the journal Polymer Chemistry. She will start in the new role July 1.
The journal is peer-reviewed and publishes advances in polymer chemistry, encompassing all aspects of synthetic and biological macromolecules, and related emerging areas.
Pentzer’s research addresses application-based materials problems in the areas of energy harvesting, management and storage. She uses synthetic chemistry to tailor molecular design and control self-assembly for the preparation and study of novel conductive materials with controlled domain sizes and interfaces.
