Alexandra Easley received her bachelor’s degree in Biomedical Engineering from Texas A&M University in 2017. She earned her Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from the same school, where her research focused on the fundamental properties and application of non-conjugated polymeric materials for energy storage. She was a Klarman Postdoctoral Fellow at Cornell University working with Brett Fors on carbon capture and utilization in polymer chemistry. Her group focuses on methodologies for in-situ and electrochemical characterization of polymer solutions. Beyond characterization, the Easley group also designs and synthesizes polymers with stimuli-triggered functional groups. The group is specifically interested in polymers that undergo changes in response to a variety of external stimuli.
