Materials Chemistry for Environmental and Biological Applications

The Oliver group has a broad range research interests in materials science, nanotechnology and inorganic chemistry. We have developed a series of materials that bear a cationic charge. The open space inside these hosts contain anions that can be exchanged for environmentally hazardous anions, both heavy metal inorganic and organic. We are studying a variety of anionic pollutants including perchlorate, pertechnetate and chromate.

We are also working on mesoporous hosts for a variety of uses including the removal of sulfur from fuel and for biomaterials applications. Our studies are very interdisciplinary, as it combines inorganic, materials and analytical chemistry. We also use a variety of characterization techniques, both within our group and in the department. Please visit our research webpage (http://oliver.chemistry.ucsc.edu) for more information.

I teach a variety of courses in inorganic, materials and analytical chemistry.
