Michael A. Bevan is a Professor in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Johns Hopkins University. His research focuses on measuring and manipulating colloidal and biomacromolecular interactions, dynamics, and structures in interfacial and confined systems, with applications in complex fluids, nanotechnology, and biomedical devices.
- BS in Chemical Engineering and Chemistry from Lehigh University (1994)
- PhD in Chemical Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University (1999)
- Postdoctoral work at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (Materials Science & Physics, 2001-2002) and University of Melbourne (Chemistry & Mathematics, 1999-2001)
Bevan's research areas include colloidal interactions, dynamics assembly, nanoparticle materials, biomacromolecular interactions, and energy landscape engineering. His lab develops advanced microscopy and simulation tools to control colloidal self-assembly, with applications in photonic materials, drug delivery, and reconfigurable electromagnetic devices.
Recent publications highlight work on energy landscapes on 3D surfaces, feedback-controlled colloidal assembly via reinforcement learning, anisotropic particle phase behavior in nonuniform fields, and micro/nano motor navigation. These studies span colloidal physics, materials design, and biomedical interfaces.
- ACS Fellow (2016)
- PECASE, NSF (2005)
- NSF CAREER Award (2004)
- Beckman Fellowship (2001)
- Henkel Fellowship, ACS Colloids & Surfaces Division (1998)
Bevan advises current and former PhD students working on topics like colloidal assembly, zwitterionic polymers, and shape-dependent capsule delivery. His lab actively recruits postdoctoral researchers in areas such as hierarchical colloidal assembly and bio-inspired microsystems.
