Profile
Allon Hochbaum is an Associate Professor in the Departments of Materials Science and Engineering, Chemistry, Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, and Molecular Biology and Biochemistry at the University of California, Irvine. He received his S.B. in Materials Science and Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and completed his Ph.D. in the Department of Chemistry at UC Berkeley studying electrical and thermal transport phenomena in semiconductor nanowires. He was a postdoctoral research fellow at Harvard University where his research explored bacterial community dynamics at interfaces. Prof. Hochbaum is the recipient of the 3M Non-Tenured Faculty award, and the ACS (Division of Inorganic Chemistry) and AFOSR Young Investigator awards.
Education
Ph.D. in Chemistry, University of California, Berkeley, 2008
S.B. in Materials Science and Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003
Research
His lab studies and designs electronically conductive natural and synthetic supramolecular proteins, and seeks to understand and engineer chemical signaling and metabolic pathways involved in bacterial community development and antibiotic tolerance using chemical and physical approaches.
