Polymer Chemist. UCSB 🇦🇺🇺🇸 Either Craig or a bad Australian impersonator (most likely the latter)










🎉 Congrats to @elizabethm1239, 2025 Henkel Award winner! Her achievements include: 🏆 NSF Graduate Fellowship 🏆 Edward J. Kramer Prize 🏆 BioPACIFIC MIP Fellowship, supporting high-throughput polymer discovery Soon joining Dow Chemical! 👏 Celebrate at ACS Fall 2025 in DC!












Happy to say this project from my PhD in the Hawker group (@HawkerNation) has been published! [open access] Bioinspired Metal–Ligand Networks with Enhanced Stability and Performance: Facile Preparation of Hydroxypyridinone (HOPO)-Functionalized Materials pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

New research from BioPACIFIC MIP #Macromolecules! 🌟 @HawkerNation group demonstrated efficient C–H bond cross-linking in commodity polymers using diazirine-based methods—unlocking new potential in sustainable materials. 🔗 Read more: bit.ly/4ftIbEg #PolymerScience
