Diego Gomez-Maldonado

Diego’s research focus is on the development of sustainable bio-based materials for advance applications. He is a postdoctoral associate at the Department of Chemical Engineering at Northeastern University researching materials for neural tissue engineering. He holds a Ph.D. in forest biomaterials from Auburn University, an M.Sc. in material design and engineering, and a B.S. in biological engineering both from Universidad Autonoma Metropolitana in Mexico, his home country. He has an expertise in biopolymer surface chemistry, characterization, and 3-D assembly. Equally important is his interest in diversity, equity, and inclusion and how this can help achieve a more sustainable future.
