Imogen Hoffman
Ph.D. student, Department of Chemistry
Research Interests:
Imogen's research centers around the synthesis of 3D micropatterned thiol–ene networks using Digital Light Processing (DLP) microscopy. Her work seeks to drive development of visible light-mediated microneedle array design for drug delivery applications.
Imogen graduated with a B.S. in Chemistry in 2021 from Louisiana State University, where, as a member of the Ogden Honors College, she received prestigious awards in her field of study. She conducted her undergraduate and post-baccalaureate research under polymer chemist John A. Pojman, with her research published in the Royal Society of Chemistry's Journal of Molecular Systems Design and Engineering, the Journal of Polymer Science, and Chaos: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Nonlinear Science. As a member of the Pojman Research Team, Imogen collaborated with Dr. Annette Taylor of the University of Sheffield (England) on new methods for the bio-catalytic control of gelation for natural adhesives and repair. At °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²ÊÔ¤²â, Imogen's research interests have expanded to include optical microscopy and polymeric 3D printing.
