I am a postdoctoral research assistant at UNC-CH working with Prof. Joseph DeSimone , Prof. Michael Rubinstein and Prof. Mireille Adam on a project funded by the NSF Science and Technology Center . Our aim is to study polymeric surfactants in liquid and supercritical 
carbon dioxide and for that purpose both the Polymer Theory Group  and 
the DeSimone Group are included.
