Danielle J. Mai joined the Department of Chemical Engineering at Stanford University in January 2020. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Engineering in Chemical Engineering from the University of Michigan and her Master’s and Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign under the guidance of Professor Charles M. Schroeder. Dr. Mai was an Arnold O. Beckman Postdoctoral Fellow in Professor Bradley D. Olsen’s group at MIT, where she engineered materials with selective biomolecular transport properties and elucidated mechanisms of toughness and extensibility in entangled associative hydrogels, developing high-throughput methods for the discovery of polypeptide materials. The Mai Lab focuses on engineering biopolymers as building blocks of life, integrating precise biopolymer engineering and multi-scale experimental characterization to advance biomaterials development and enhance the fundamental understanding of soft matter physics. Her research has garnered several awards including the AIChE 35 Under 35 Award in 2020 and the MIT Technology Review List of 35 Innovators Under 35 in 2023.
