NATHANIEL LYND, PHD
ADVANCED MATERIALS, POLYMERS & NANOTECHNOLOGY, BIOTECHNOLOGY, ENERGY, AND ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING
Dr Lynd is a faculty member in the Chemical Engineering department at UT Austin. He is very involved with research in polymers and nanotechnology. He also teaches multiple classes in the Chemical Engineering department, notably Materials and polymers. He helped us with our research in developing our bioplastic layer.
We carry out fundamental and applied research in polymer science guided by the principles of simplicity, sustainability, and relevance to key technological challenges in chemical engineering for the 21st century in energy, environment, security, and materials for healthcare. Synthesis is the primary tool that we use to answer fundamental questions and bring to bear in applied research projects. However, modeling efforts may be used to facilitate materials design, and to provide context for the interpretation of data.
