Scholar-generated biography
Julia Ortony is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of California, San Diego. Her research focuses on self-assembly, supramolecular chemistry, and dynamics, with an emphasis on understanding the behavior of supramolecular systems. Her work explores the energy landscapes of supramolecular systems, the synthesis of functional biomaterials through self-assembly, and the internal dynamics of supramolecular nanofibers. She investigates the role of supramolecular cohesion in cell death and survival, as well as the properties of hydrogen storage materials and water dynamics in nanoscale domains. Her research also includes the development of supramolecular gels, coacervate hydrogels, and optically active conjugated oligoelectrolytes.
