About

A. J. Maroulis is a rising leader in the field of polymer chemistry, with a focused expertise in oxygen-tolerant reversible-deactivation radical polymerizations (RDRP). Their most-cited work, "Automation-Assisted Photoinduced Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization" (2025, 5 citations), represents a significant breakthrough by demonstrating that complex radical polymerizations can now proceed reliably in open labware, such as well plates. This innovation dramatically lowers the knowledge barrier for synthesizing tailored polymers, enabling high-throughput, automated workflows that were previously impractical. By combining photoinduced ATRP with automation, Maroulis has opened the door for researchers without deep expertise in controlled radical polymerization to access advanced materials. Their contributions are particularly impactful for the rapid screening and discovery of functional polymers, accelerating the development of new materials for biomedical, electronic, and coating applications. Though early in their career, Maroulis’s work is already shaping the future of polymer synthesis, making it more accessible, efficient, and scalable.
