Neil R. Branda is a Professor at Simon Fraser University and holds the position of Canada Research Chair Tier. His research centers on molecular switching and the design of organic materials. He focuses on mechanisms to control structure-function relationships in molecules, utilizing molecular recognition and supramolecular chemistry. His work encompasses molecular switches that are triggered by light and electricity, delving into applications such as self-assembly of new materials, allosteric cofactors influencing host-guest interactions, and the creation of nano-scale machines. Branda's laboratory is equipped with the necessary tools to conduct pioneering research in the realms of photochromism, electrochromism, and molecular recognition, aiming to develop controllable components suitable for energy harvesting and information storage.
