Tyler Jorgenson

Tyler Jorgenson is a Research Fellow at the University of Chicago, affiliated with the Rowan Group. His work bridges biomolecular design, synthetic chemistry, and bio-nano interactions to develop mechanically sensitive bio-hybrid materials inspired by the actin cytoskeleton.

• Education: B.S. in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering from Johns Hopkins University (2016); Graduate studies at the University of Washington.

Research Interests: Tyler specializes in biomolecular self-assembly, focusing on peptide behavior at inorganic interfaces, bio-nano interactions, and advanced techniques like scanning probe microscopy and molecular dynamics simulations.

Collaboration: He integrates the Rowan Group’s synthetic chemistry expertise with his background in biomolecular engineering to pioneer novel bio-hybrid materials.
