Her research focuses on the development of intelligent and adaptive biomolecular materials and nanostructures. Dr. Schulman joined JHU after working as a Miller Research Fellow in physics at UC Berkeley. She received undergraduate degrees in mathematics and computer science from MIT and a Ph.D. from the California Institute of Technology. Recent awards include a DARPA Young Investigator Award, NSF Career Award, Turing Scholar Award and a DOE Early Career Award. Her research pushes the boundaries of interdisciplinary inquiry by integrating ideas from a broad range of disciplines, including theoretical computer science, synthetic chemistry, materials science, physics and engineering in addressing fundamental problems in materials and biomolecular device design.
