Research Laboratory
The Pozzo Research Laboratory is located in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Washington. Our work focuses on:
Self-Assembly Control
Development and control of self-assembly in soft materials at nanometer and micrometer scales.
AI-Accelerated Discovery
High-throughput materials discovery using AI, machine learning, and laboratory automation.
Advanced Characterization
Small-angle X-ray and neutron scattering (SAXS/SANS) for structural analysis of soft matter.
Energy Applications
Functional nanomaterials for energy storage, batteries, and sustainable technologies.
Laboratory Facilities
Our laboratory houses state-of-the-art equipment including:
- High-throughput SAXS - Small-angle X-ray scattering instrumentation for rapid materials screening
- Laboratory Automation - Liquid handlers, robotic systems, and automated synthesis platforms
- Rheology & Characterization - Advanced equipment for soft matter and materials analysis
- Synthesis Capabilities - Facilities for soft matter and nanomaterials synthesis
National User Facilities
We collaborate extensively with major research facilities:
