James M. Caruthers works in materials science, focusing on polymers—their crystallization, structural properties, and behavior under flow (rheology)—as well as nanocomposite materials and metal oxide nanoparticles. His work also touches on catalyst design, including using data-driven ('discovery informatics') approaches to develop new catalysts. Prospective students would likely engage with experimental and possibly computational studies of how material structure relates to physical properties.
