Michael Webb

Mike was born and raised in Reno, Nevada. He then studied at UC Berkeley, graduating with Highest Honors with a BS in chemical engineering with a concentration in applied physical science and a minor in materials science in 2011. Subsequently, Mike moved to Caltech to perform doctoral research under the advisement of Professor Thomas F. Miller III, becoming a fellow of the Resnick Institute in 2012 and obtaining his ChE PhD in 2016 for studies in path-integral and coarse-graining strategies for complex molecular phenomena. His thesis earned him the Herbert Newby McCoy Award for outstanding achievement in research in chemistry.

He moved to Chicago and joined the de Pablo Group in November 2016 and is currently a postdoctoral scholar for the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering. He will join the Princeton CBE Department in January 2020 as an assistant professor (https://cbe.princeton.edu/michael-webb).

Outside of research, Mike enjoys playing/watching sports, training for triathlons, and hanging out with his wife and cats.
