Research Interests

The Sustainable Polymer Innovation Laboratory (SPIn lab), led by Professor Cécile Chazot, seeks to develop sustainable manufacturing and recycling of polymers and composites. Our focus areas include fiber-based materials, biopolymers, large-scale processing, structural colors, and green chemistry. Our interdisciplinary work spans from fundamental understanding of materials and their properties to applications and industrial deployment.
