Thi Vo is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Johns Hopkins University. The overarching theme of Vo's research group revolves around self-assembly and bottom-up design of multifunctional materials. The group employs theoretical and computational methods to study fundamental nanoscale interactions and applies their understandings to elucidate relevant experimental design parameters to accelerate the discovery and generation of soft and polymeric materials. Vo's work specifically explores the role of charge, building block anisotropy, building block connectivity, linkage sequences, and directional interactions in controlling microscopic structural organizations to tune macroscopic properties. Vo received a Bachelor’s degree in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering from Rice University in 2012, working with Walter Chapman on gas hydrate thermodynamics. Vo then obtained a PhD in Chemical Engineering from Columbia University in 2017, working with Sanat K. Kumar on modeling DNA-mediated self-assembly. Following this, Vo worked as a postdoctoral research fellow with Sharon C. Glotzer, specializing in theoretical modeling of entropically driven self-assembly and ligand-mediated self-assembly. Vo joined Johns Hopkins University in 2022.
