Biography: 

Matthew Green obtained bachelor's degrees in chemical engineering and chemistry (2007), and a doctorate in chemical engineering at Virginia Tech working with Prof. Timothy Long (2011). Then, he worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Delaware in the Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Department with professors Thomas Epps, III and Millicent Sullivan. His research is focused on the design and synthesis of novel, ion-containing polymers to be used in applications such as water purification, carbon dioxide capture, nanocomposites, and micellar solution assemblies.
