Adam Matzger is the Charles G. Overberger Collegiate Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Macromolecular Science & Engineering at the University of Michigan. His research focuses on interface materials chemistry, integrating traditional chemistry disciplines with organic synthesis and coordination chemistry to develop methodologies critical to the synthesis of polymers, explosives, and organized assemblies. Key research areas include controlling crystal polymorphism and multicomponent crystallization, which affect solid-state reactivity and pharmaceutical performance. Matzger's group employs combinatorial materials chemistry, advanced analytical techniques such as X-ray microdiffraction, thermal analysis, and Raman spectroscopy to explore porosity in coordination polymers and gas adsorption processes. His work includes investigating laser interactions with kidney stones, new polymer synthesis for drug delivery, and innovative applications of Raman spectroscopy. He has significantly contributed to the development of new synthetic methods that lead to materials with unprecedented structural properties. His published works demonstrate a commitment to the intersection of theory and application in chemistry.
