Dr. Dave Adams

Biography

Professor Dave Adams leads research in the field of Materials Chemistry at the University of Glasgow. His work focuses on understanding and controlling the self-assembly of small molecules to form a range of structures. The Adams group's research interests include self-assembled low molecular weight gelators (LMWG), where they have developed several methods for preparing reproducible gels with controlled properties. Notable among these is the slow pH change method that enables the preparation of self-sorted gels. His research explores electrochemical gelation approaches, allowing for spatiotemporal control over gelation, and methods for controlling the assembly of multi-component systems targeting optoelectronic applications. He is also involved in developing new techniques to manage gel-to-gel transitions and employs small angle scattering approaches to gain insights into self-assembled systems. Professor Adams is actively contributing to advancements in the field of Materials Chemistry through his innovative research methodologies and group collaborations.
