David W. Burke received his PhD from Northwestern University in 2022, where he studied structurally precise two-dimensional polymers under the supervision of Prof. William Dichtel. Upon graduating, David joined Prof. Shuhei Furukawa’s research group at Kyoto University’s WPI-iCeMS as a JSPS Postdoctoral Fellow, where he developed new photopolymerization chemistry for porous gels based on metal-organic polyhedra. In 2024, David transitioned into his current position as a specially appointed assistant professor in Prof. Hiroshi Sato’s laboratory at Hiroshima University’s WPI-SKCM2, where he is actively developing stimuli-responsive porous materials to address contemporary challenges in environmental sustainability.
