Biography
Gozde Aktas Eken is a research associate at Cornell Materials Science and Engineering. With a background in polymer chemistry and bioengineering, her research focuses on developing adaptive materials and interfaces through the fusion of macromolecular engineering and lithography techniques. After receiving her Ph.D., she joined Christopher Ober’s research group in 2021. Currently, Dr. Eken is leading efforts to engineer the next generation of bioinspired adaptive interfaces capable of sensing, responding to, and visually representing changes in environmental conditions and specific target molecules.
