About the lab
Sustainable polymer chemistry, bio-based materials, and green synthesis.
The Meier Lab pioneers research in sustainable polymer chemistry with a strong emphasis on developing environmentally friendly materials from renewable resources. The group focuses on the design and synthesis of non-isocyanate polyurethanes (NIPUs), biobased polyesters, sulfur-rich composite materials, and sequence-defined macromolecules. Using innovative reactions such as transurethanization, thiol–ene photochemistry, and Passerini multicomponent chemistry, they create novel polymers with tailored mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties. Applications span across adhesives, coatings, water purification, and biodegradable plastics. The lab also applies machine learning and advanced spectroscopy to improve material characterization. Their work addresses pressing challenges in replacing fossil-based chemicals, enabling safer and greener industrial processes. Prospective students with backgrounds or interests in organic chemistry, polymer science, green chemistry, or analytical techniques—and a passion for sustainability—will find an intellectually stimulating and impactful environment in the Meier Lab.
