Professor; Founding Faculty
Chemical and Materials Engineering
Christopher Viney (he, him, his) has held teaching and research appointments at the University of Cambridge (Materials), the University of Washington (Materials, Bioengineering), the University of Oxford (Materials), Heriot-Watt University (Chemistry), and UC Merced (Engineering). His interdisciplinary research has been mostly in biomolecular materials (Nature’s lessons for engineers), and, more recently, at the interface of materials science and epidemiology. His less formal interests include languages (German, Afrikaans, Dutch, Spanish), professional photography (nature, architecture, abstract), wilderness hiking, music (choral, classical organ, bells), history (especially as it relates to science and engineering), extremely spicy cuisine, and science outreach.
