معرفی
Maya Endoh is a Research Professor in the Department of Materials Science & Engineering at Stony Brook University, where she has held this position since 2015. Her research focuses on polymer structures and deformation mechanisms, utilizing advanced techniques like X-ray scattering, neutron scattering, and microscopy. She investigates molecular-scale structures of polymeric systems, including crystalline organization in nano-confined environments and adhesion dynamics of composites. Her work extends to biomedical applications, particularly microbial interactions with polymer surfaces.
Dr. Endoh earned her Ph.D. in Polymer Physics (2005), M.E. in Polymer Chemistry (1997), and B.E. in Polymer Engineering (1995), all from Kyoto University, Japan. She held roles as Senior Research Scientist at Stony Brook University (2012–2014) and Beamline Scientist at NSLS, BNL (2012–2013). Her career includes postdoctoral research at the University of Tokyo and industry experience at Toyobo Co., Ltd.
Her research interests span polymer physics, nanostructured materials, and biomedical applications. Notable awards include the 2024 NY State Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Adjunct Teaching and a JSPS Postdoctoral Fellowship. Her publications explore polymer dynamics, anti-biofouling surfaces, and composite material characterization.
Recent work emphasizes protein-resistant polymer architectures and nano-scale dynamics in polymer-filler systems. Her contributions bridge fundamental polymer science with practical applications in materials engineering and biomedicine.
