Diego Alzate-Sanchez

I am an assistant professor in the Chemistry and Chemical Biology department. I started my independent career as part of the INVEST program at Northeastern University in 2022.

I completed Master studies under the guidance of Professor Cesar Sierra at the Universidad Nacional de Colombia and worked as a volcanologist afterwards. I moved to USA and finished my graduate studies at Northwestern University, working with Professor William Dichtel and completed a postdoctoral training at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign in the group of Professor Jeffrey Moore.

I am an enthusiastic scientist working in polymer sustainability and a member of the DMAS lab, where we are interested in finding alternative techniques to manufacture materials in a more sustainable fashion. We work at the interface of polymer chemistry and materials science, developing cutting edge technologies based on macromolecules.
