Dr. Mujeeb Alam’s interests lie at the intersection of polymer chemistry, supramolecular chemistry, chemical biology, and soft matter chemistry, with a particular focus on designing stimuli-responsive materials that enable autonomous behavior and communication at microscale interfaces. Dr. Alam is deeply interested in artificial microcompartments such as coacervates and colloidosomes as functional mimics of biological condensates, and in understanding how their wetting, interfacial, and phase-separation properties can be engineered to regulate chemical signaling and material exchange. His work also explores self-powered supramolecular and polymeric interfaces capable of generating fluid flow, sensing analytes, and operating as valveless or powerless microfluidic systems. Broadly, Dr. Alam aims to develop programmable, flow-generating, responsive soft materials and protocellular systems for applications in microfluidics, sensing, and bioinspired materials engineering.
