Biosketch

Bridgette Maria Budhlall, Ph.D. works on developing smart polymers for nanomedicine applications in the department of Plastics Engineering. Budhlall also has eight (8) years experience working in industry, most recently at Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. where she worked in the synthesis of latexes for coatings and developed photoresist polymers and immersion fluids for microlithography applications.

Budhlall is interested in the synthesis of nanostructured materials with controlled morphologies specifically designed to trigger and control motility and assembly with external stimuli. She finds it important that her technology can be scaled-up and is of use in a variety of industrial applications ranging from biosensors, chemical sensors and nanofluidic devices, smart coatings and adhesives, drug delivery systems, cellular transport and analysis and biomedical devices.
