Tom Dursch

Tom Dursch is the editor of Trends in Chemistry, the relatively new chemistry reviews journal at Cell Press. He earned his PhD from the University of California, Berkeley where he combined polymer physics, equilibrium thermodynamics, and transport processes to understand uptake and release of small solutes from stimulus-responsive hydrogels. Tom joined Cell Press in June 2018 after a postdoctoral fellowship position at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and short R&D position at Procter & Gamble. He loves science, and is particularly captivated by polymer physics. His main hobby is rock climbing. Therefore, much of his time is spent studying physics and the remainder is spent avoiding its consequences.
