RODRIGO NORIEGA

Prof. Noriega is an Assistant Professor of Chemistry at the University of Utah. His research interests focus on the connections between the structure and properties of soft disordered materials. Before joining the Chemistry faculty at Utah, he received a Bachelor's degree in Engineering Physics from Monterrey Tech (2006). He then earned his Ph.D. in Applied Physics from Stanford University working with Prof. Alberto Salleo (2013), followed by postdoctoral work with Prof. Naomi Ginsberg at the University of California Berkeley with support from a Philomathia Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship. He joined the Chemistry department at the University of Utah in 2016 and is currently studying charge and energy flow in polymers, the conformational dynamics of enzymes, and the electronic properties of electrochemical interfaces.
