Andrew Kleinschmidt

I am a PhD in chemical engineering. I did my undergraduate studies at Stanford University. I then worked for two years at a genetic sequencing startup before realizing that my true passion was in academia. I joined a research lab studying conjugated polymers to develop solar cells made cheaply out of plastic. My work is fundamental, aiming to better understand the underlying morphological reasons for conjugated polymer properties. I hope to continue using my research skills after I have graduated to pursue a deeper understanding of phenomena using computational tools.
