Suchol Savagatrup

Biography

Suchol received his undergraduate degree from University of California, Berkeley in 2012 and his Ph.D. from University of California, San Diego in 2016, both in chemical engineering. Suchol was a Ruth L. Kirschstein NIH NRSA postdoctoral fellow at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He then joined the Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering at the University of Arizona in 2019 as an Assistant Professor. 

Suchol's research focuses on applying the principles of soft material science, device engineering, and applied chemistry (molecular engineering) to probe chemical and physical interactions at complex interfaces. Our group members are interested in engineering responsive soft materials, both polymers and complex emulsions, with bio-inspired functions for a wide range of applications in biomimicry, chemical and biosensors, and environmental monitoring.
