Nicolaas Vermeulen

As a member of the chemistry team, Nicolaas supports organic synthesis, porous material design and formation, and materials characterization. Before joining NuMat, Nicolaas worked with Corteva (formerly Dow Agrosciences), a leader in agrochemicals, as a Discovery chemist where he worked to design and develop new pesticidal compounds. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with Prof. Christina White in organometallic catalysis and joined the group of Prof. Fraser Stoddart, at Northwestern University, to complete post-doctoral training in supramolecular chemistry.
