ResearchResearch in the Gilbertson Group aims to inform sustainable design of existing and novel materials that 1) precludes potential unintended environmental and human health consequences, and 2) maintains or exceeds functional performance goals. Gilbertson's research includes both experimental and life cycle modeling thrusts.

The GroupMeet our group members by visiting our People page.
Dr. Gilbertson is excited to grow her research group at the University of Pittsburgh. Please contact me if you are interested in becoming a member of the group as a post doc, visiting researcher, graduate student, or undergraduate. Check out these undergraduate research opportunities! Latest News and AnnouncementsCongrats to Ashley on her perspective in ACS Sustainable Chemistry and Engineering: Rational Ligand Design to Improve Agrochemical Delivery Efficiency and Advance Agriculture Sustainability!
Dr. Gilbertson is featured on the RSC blog where she is interviewed about the recent emerging investigator article led by Lisa! Lisa Stabryla publishes her first, first-author paper in Environmental Science: Nano! The paper, "It's Not All About the Ion: Support for Particle-Specific Contributions to Silver Nanoparticle Antimicrobial Activity" is part of the journal's emerging investigator series. Dr. Gilbertson speaks at the Gordon Research Conference on Nanoscale Science and Engineering for Agriculture and Food Systems. Her talk, Designing from a Systems Perspective, was part of the Young Investigator Session. Dr. Gilbertson and colleagues recently published a new framework for materials design and selection in Nature Nanotechnology. Check it out!
