Senior🎓
Top SchoolChristopher Petroff is a postdoctoral associate at Cornell University with 11 years of research experience in physical chemistry, specializing in the molecular origins and instrumentation of piezoelectric responses in small organic and biomolecular devices. He designs, manufactures, and characterizes novel piezoelectric materials and has a strong track record of increasing experimental throughput by building semi-automated testing setups and automating data processing pipelines. His doctoral work at the University of Pittsburgh combined hands-on device fabrication with quantitative analysis, enabling reproducible measurements of unconventional piezoelectric systems. Based in Ithaca, NY, he blends deep experimental expertise with practical engineering—writing custom automation that turns delicate bench experiments into scalable, high-throughput studies.
