Jörg G. Werner

Jörg G. Werner is Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science & Engineering at Boston University, where he directs the Mesostructured Materials and Devices (MeMaD) Laboratory. His research develops novel fabrication methods for functional nanostructured materials with applications in energy storage, coatings, and sustainability technologies.

Education includes:

• Ph.D. from Cornell University (2015)

Research focuses on:

• Bottom-up assembly of nano/micro-structured materials
• Block copolymer self-assembly for ordered mesostructures
• Electrodeposition of functional polymer coatings
• Phase separation strategies for architected electrodes
• Design of mesostructured energy storage systems

Recent work emphasizes electrodeposited conformal coatings, nanostructured organogels, and block copolymer-derived functional materials. Key trends include innovation in energy storage architectures and sustainable material design.

Awards and honors:

• DARPA Young Faculty Award (2023)
• emc2 Young Investigator Award (2013)
• Howard Neal Wachter Memorial Prize (2014)

Leads the MeMaD Lab with focus on interdisciplinary approaches to materials design through controlled self-assembly processes.
