At the Rowland, the Tao Lab sought structure-property relationships in nanoscale, heterogeneous matter through the development of single-nucleon magnetic resonance imaging. On this journey toward direct, 3D imaging of atomic structures, the lab was...
The Raayai laboratory’s focus was on investigating the response of fluid flow to complex geometric boundaries such as textured surfaces and arrays of objects. Inspired by natural cases like ribs on shark scales and flight formation in pelicans, at the...
During their time at the Rowland Institute the Rayshubskiy lab worked at the interface between neuro-engineering and neurobiology using the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, as a model system: (1) They developed the fruit fly as a micro-robotics...
At the Rowland, the Cira Lab developed technologies to enable new scales of experimental throughput and used them to untangle complex biological systems. Many biological systems involve the interaction of large numbers of different components, and many of...
Executing successful movements requires the brain to predict the consequences of actions. It is believed that the brain builds internal models of our body and the environment in order to simulate the sensory and motor outcomes of movements. Due to the...
Motility allows diverse types of organisms from bacteria to humans to seek out favourable environments providing, for instance, nutrients, light, or company. Often motility behavior follows particular patterns: For example, roaming and dwelling in C...
While at the Rowland Institute, the El Baggari lab sought to understand and manipulate the properties of quantum materials, a broad class of compounds that exhibit superb electronic, magnetic and structural properties tied to the quantum-mechanical nature...
At the Rowland, the Congreve Lab studied excitonic materials and devices. They sought to better understand the physics in combinations of excitonic materials, and use that knowledge to build more efficient devices such as LEDs and photovoltaics.

While at the Rowland the Reece Lab was focused on utilising transient pressure pulses and kinetic modelling in order to understand the fundamental concepts that drive catalytic reactions on surfaces. The goal of their lab was to break down chemical...
At the Rowland, the Hunter Lab was focused on the development of molecules and materials which can electrochemically and sustainably convert earth-abundant feedstocks to value-added chemicals and fuels.
