The Holland Group explores the molecular structure and dynamics of complex biological and technologically relevant materials. We are interested in scientific problems that lie at the interface of chemistry, biology and materials science including biologically inspired materials and molecules and nanomaterials functionalized with biomolecules. Although we use a suite of characterization techniques to understand the systems of interest, the primary focus is on developing and applying nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) methods. A continuing theme in our work is linking the role of molecular structure and dynamical features to material properties and biological function.
