Fellow
Dr. Jeffrey Gorman 🇬🇧🇮🇪🇵🇠- Materials Fellow
Jeff was awarded the Materials Research Fellowship at Durham in 2025 to explore his photochemical research. Jeff earned his PhD from Cambridge University in 2020, where he worked with Prof. Sir Richard Friend to pioneer new molecular assembly methods for semiconductors crucial for solar energy harvesting. He focused on deterministic, size-defined structures to study the evolution of excitons. Next, Jeff spent five years at MIT, working with Prof. Mark Bathe to develop DNA 'origami' nanoparticles that array hundreds of molecular systems with high spatial and orientation fidelity, advancing applications in molecular computing.
