Jason R. Dwyer

Jason R. Dwyer is a Professor of Chemistry at the University of Rhode Island. His principal research focus is on developing nanopore single-molecule sensing tools and methods to better characterize complex carbohydrates. The work broadly combines nanofluidics, electrokinetics, materials science and nanofabrication, and bioanalytical chemistry. He has a strong interest in public outreach and technology commercialization, including science consulting, providing media and entrepreneurship training for scientists, and giving a feature interview for a Discovery Channel documentary on molecular-movie-making.
