Bryan D. James

Bryan integrates materials, environmental, and biomedical engineering principles to design a healthier and cleaner future. He completed his B.A.Sc. at the University of Toronto and his Ph.D. at the University of Florida (UF) in materials science and engineering. Bryan’s research has spanned continents and fields, from investigating perfluorinated compounds at Air Liquide in Tsukuba, Japan, to sex-specific mechanobiology at UF in Gainesville, FL. Currently, Bryan is a postdoctoral researcher at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Woods Hole, MA investigating the fate, persistence, and toxicity of plastic in the ocean to inform the design of next-generation materials.
