Julio M. D’Arcy is an Assistant Professor in the Carlson School of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Clark University. Investigations in Julio’s lab are driven by pressing questions about energy, sustainability and the future; students take a central role in leading and designing studies that address solutions that benefit our environment and society. His laboratory applies synergistic overlaps between chemistry and engineering providing all laboratory members with a vibrant research platform for studying molecular interactions and discovering new mechanistic pathways that result in conducting polymer nanoarchitectures. Conducting polymers are versatile materials with a plethora of accessible nanostructures. In the D’Arcy laboratory, these materials are produced in the vapor phase by students using strategies developed in a dynamic collaborative environment. D’Arcy lab members inquire into and develop chemical reactions in the vapor phase using inorganic reactants and aerosols that promote nascent structural growth during oxidative radical-based polymerization. Prior to joining Clark University, Julio was at Washington University in St. Louis in the Department of Chemistry as well as in the Institute of Materials Science & Engineering where he developed cutting-edge syntheses and technologies in the area of organic electronic and electrochemical energy storage. He has extensive experience in teaching chemistry to both graduate and undergraduate students and enjoys developing curriculum in the areas of general chemistry, inorganic chemistry, materials chemistry and electrochemistry. As Principal Investigator, Julio holds 22 peer-reviewed publications in top chemical and engineering journals, is the recipient of the prestigious National Science Foundation NSF-CAREER award (2022), and is dedicated to fostering the next generations of researchers by working at the interfaces of multiple disciplines.
