research overview
- Dr. McLeod's research is at the intersection of optics and soft materials. That is, the lab develops novel optical patterning techniques to structure new forms of polymers which are then measured with optical imaging methods created specifically for this purpose. A major focus of the group are various photopolymer-based additive manufacturing techniques, primarily aimed at biomedical applications including regenerative medicine and restorative dentistry. We also create new holographic materials and holography techniques. Finally, we create organic electronic sensors for environmental sensing applications.
