About
Rachel J. DeHoog is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of polymer chemistry and data storage, whose work is redefining how molecular information can be encoded, processed, and read. Her primary research areas include sequence-defined polymers, automated synthesis, and mass spectrometry, with a focus on developing high-throughput methods for molecular information storage. DeHoog’s major contribution lies in creating an automated workflow that integrates the synthesis, chain-end degradation, and rapid mass spectrometry analysis of sequence-defined oligourethanes—a breakthrough that addresses a critical bottleneck in scaling information density. Her most-cited paper (2025, 10 citations) demonstrates this innovation, offering a streamlined approach to storing data in abiotic polymers, a field traditionally limited by manual, low-throughput processes. This work not only advances the practical application of molecular data storage but also sets a new standard for efficiency and scalability in polymer informatics. DeHoog’s achievements highlight her as a rising leader in merging synthetic chemistry with digital technology, making her research essential for students and scientists exploring the future of data storage at the molecular level.
