John Cobb

John joined the group in May 2016. In summer 2016 John began working on a new project using zeta potential and light scattering measurements to study polymer solutions and in August 2016 he presented his work at the CofC Celebration of Scholars poster session.

 

In a subsequent project John focused on using binary solvent mixtures to control the morphology of P3HT and p-doped P3HT films.

 

In Fall 2017 John received a prestigious Goldwater Scholarship.

 

John co-authored a paper published in the Journal of Molecular Liquids in 2019.

 

John graduated from CofC in 2019. John is currently working on his Ph.D. in the Department of Mathematics at University of Wisconsin-Madison, and in 2020 he was awarded a National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate Fellowship.
