Starting a New Research Group at the University of Texas
I am thrilled to announce that I will join the faculty of the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Dept. at the University of Texas, Arlington. I am looking forward to prolific collaborations with my future colleagues in MAE. And I express my gratitude to my colleagues and friends at Princeton for these exceptional years.
Please stay tuned for news and updates. Interested undergrad/grad students, postdocs, and potential collaborators in the area of Nanomaterials please feel free to reach out to me!

Michael Bozlar received his PhD in Materials Science and Engineering from CentraleSupelec and Ecole Normale Superieure (Paris-Saclay). During his graduate studies, he worked on the synthesis and applications of carbon nanotubes. He was then appointed as a postdoctoral researcher at Princeton University in the Dept. of Chemical and Biological Engineering, where he has been working on the fundamental characteristics and industrial applications of graphene in rechargeable batteries and polymer composites. Michael currently holds an Associate Research Scholar position at Princeton University in the Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment. His main research interests in terms of fundamental and applied sciences cover the area of nanosciences and nanomaterials for applications in composite structures; energy harvesting and storage; and multifunctional materials.
