معرفی
Joerg Werner is an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Boston University's College of Engineering and Core Faculty at the Institute for Global Sustainability (IGS). He holds a PhD in Materials Chemistry from Cornell University and an MS in Chemistry from Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz. His research focuses on mesostructured materials, functional nanomaterials, and energy storage systems, leveraging block copolymer self-assembly and microfluidics to design advanced materials. He leads the Mesostructured Materials and Devices Lab, exploring hierarchical structures, electrochemical polymers, and sustainable manufacturing.
Research Interests: Werner’s work spans 3D nano-interdigitated batteries, mesostructured architectures, and dynamic microcapsules. Key areas include energy storage applications, phase separation of complex fluids, and nanoconfined synthesis. His group develops sustainable templates for nanomaterials and electrochemically active polymers for thin films on 3D substrates.
Publications Trends: Recent work emphasizes electrode architectures (e.g., low-tortuosity electrodes), responsive microcapsules, and self-assembly-driven superconductors. Collaborations with labs like Harvard and industry partners highlight applied energy solutions.
Funding & Labs: Current grants support projects on mesohybrids and architected electrodes. The MeMaD Lab collaborates on projects like PANDA (self-driving lab for polymer films) and advanced battery designs. Patents include solid-state battery assemblies and mesoporous carbon materials.
