معرفی
Bryan Boudouris is an Adjunct Professor of Chemical Engineering and a Courtesy Professor of Chemistry at Purdue University's Davidson School of Chemical Engineering. He joined Purdue in 2011 and holds a B.S. from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (2004), a Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota (2009), and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of California, Berkeley (2009–2011).
His research focuses on functional macromolecules for advanced applications, including optoelectronic, thermoelectric, and bioelectronic polymers. Key areas include transparent conducting films, thermoelectric devices, flexible bioelectronics, water purification systems, and sensing platforms. His iterative design approach links molecular structure to material performance for energy, water, and health technologies.
Boudouris has received prestigious awards such as the APS John H. Dillon Medal (2021), AIChE Owens Corning Early Career Award (2020), and NSF CAREER Award (2016). His research group (POWER Lab) includes visiting scholars, postdoctoral associates, and graduate students co-advised across disciplines.
Notable contributions include smart contact lenses for glaucoma monitoring, high-affinity heavy metal removal systems, and 3D-printed conductive polymers. His work bridges polymer chemistry, materials science, and engineering applications, addressing global challenges in energy, health, and sustainability.
