About

Jeremy Feldblyum (pronounced FELD-bloom) has been fascinated by science since the age of 10, when he picked up Richard Feynman's physics primer Six Easy Pieces. After his first high school research experience at The Institute for Genomic Research (now the J. Craig Venter Institute), Feldblyum went to the University of Maryland where he studied both chemistry and piano performance. 

Pursuing a PhD with Adam Matzger and in collaboration with David Gidley at the University of Michigan, Feldblyum studied metal-organic framework properties using positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS). An interest in electronic materials took him to the Zhenan Bao group at Stanford, where he developed synthesis and processing methods for 2D network semiconductors. 

As an assistant professor at the University at Albany, he is developing new methods to synthesize, characterize and utilize functional coordination materials for diverse applications in electronics, separations and catalysis.

Research Interests

The Feldblyum Group uses organic and inorganic synthetic methods to make new functional materials for fundamental and applied research. We have a broad portfolio of projects ranging from semiconductor synthesis and device fabrication to separations and the detection of trace compounds. 

Research Interests: Improving the sustainability of natural resource extraction and processing through development of novel materials, detection protocols and processing methods.

Research Philosophy: We strive to innovate in high-risk, high-reward areas.

Current Projects:

  • Battery recycling
  • Microporous materials
  • Semiconducting polymers
