Bryan W. Boudouris

Bryan W. Boudouris is the Robert and Sally Weist Associate Professor in the Charles D. Davidson School of Chemical Engineering and an associate professor (by courtesy) in the Department of Chemistry at Purdue University. Furthermore, he is a co-founder and scientific advisor of the water purification start-up company Anfiro, Inc. He received his B.S. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2004. After receiving his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Minnesota in 2009, he conducted postdoctoral research from 2009 to 2011 under the supervision of Professor Rachel Segalman at the University of California, Berkeley and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

His group’s current research interests include the design, nanostructural characterization, and implementation of homopolymers and block polymers in applications that include: polymer-based energy conversion and bioelectronic sensing devices; the detection of select gases of interest to building design; membranes with high fluxes and high selectivities; enhanced oil recovery (EOR) applications; and the creation of photopolymerized materials using continuous 3-dimensional (3D) nanoprinting.

Since joining Purdue University in 2011, he has been the recipient of a number of awards including the Air Force Office of Scientific Research Young Investigator Program (AFOSR YIP) award; the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency Young Faculty Award (DARPA YFA); the National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER Award; the American Physical Society – UK Polymer Physics Group Lectureship; and the Exceptional Early Career Teaching Award and the College of Engineering Early Career Research Award at Purdue University.
