Welcome/Research Interests

Thank you for visiting the research group led by Professor John Reynolds. We are an active group of graduate students, undergraduate students, and postdoctoral fellow researchers, investigating various aspects of the chemistry and materials science of electroactive and conducting polymers (see Research Group Website)

If you are here to learn about what we have done recently, check out our research and publications pages as well as our news and announcements section. If you are interested in learning more about the group, and would like to look into how you could apply as a postdoctoral researcher, send an email to Professor Reynolds . Formal application procedures for potential graduate students are given at the GT Chemistry Department site.

Past group members, please send us updates on your careers and lives Professor Reynolds for posting in the news and announcements section.
