as approaches to hyperbranched polymers. In 1992, working with F. Svec at Cornell, he reported the first preparation of macroporous polymer monoliths that are now used in a variety of chemical separations. Later work at Berkeley saw the development of polymers and dendrimers as carriers for targeted therapeutics and successful approaches to new organic materials for transistors and solar cells.
