Garrett Grocke

Garrett Grocke was born in the suburbs of Chicago and grew up in southern Wisconsin. He received his BS/MS in chemical engineering from Northwestern University in 2012. Following graduation, he worked at Argonne National Laboratory, focusing on nanostructured materials with applications in energy, communications, and environmental preservation. He joined the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering as a graduate student in Autumn 2016, and currently works under the supervision of Professor Shrayesh Patel.

Garrett's current research focuses on understanding structure-performance relationships in conductive polymer systems, including semiconductors and energy storage materials.
