Profile

Benjamin Lam is a PhD student at UC San Diego under the mentorship of Dr. Jesse Jokerst. His research focuses on understanding the nanoscale interactions between peptides and nanoparticles in their assembly and disassembly. He also actively collaborates with Dr. Tod Pascal’s group to develop computational tools to explain the experimental phenomena through molecular simulations. With his chemical engineering background, he hopes to scale up these nanoscale discoveries and inspire others along the way to develop advanced materials that would improve lives. Outside of research, Benjamin enjoys teaching and mentoring with the goal of promoting diversity and driving innovation for the greater good.
