Danielle Harrier Email & Phone Number

Menlo Park, California, United States

Dr. Harrier leverages her diverse knowledge of biodegradable polymers, emulsion polymerization, and materials characterization techniques to consult on complex projects ranging from leachable and contamination evaluations of finished goods to additive analysis in polymeric materials. She routinely assists clients in material-related root cause investigations in the medical device and consumer products industries. Dr. Harrier utilizes a variety of chemical analysis methods in these investigations, including gel-permeation chromatography (GPC), nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), Fourier-transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), thermal desorption gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (TD GC-MS), as well as various microscopy techniques and elemental analysis methods.Prior to joining exponent, Dr. Harrier's research at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign focused on utilizing advanced encapsulation techniques to expand biodegradable polymerization capabilities. Through her research and project work, she has a deep understanding of microfluidic design, fluid mechanics, and polymer formulation development.

Menlo Park, California, United States

Urbana-Champaign, Illinois Area

I completed my Ph.D. in the Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering department at UIUC. I conducted research under Dr. Damien Guironnet and Dr. Paul Kenis, and my thesis project involved the development of droplet-based microfluidic platforms to study tunable encapsulation of catalysts and drugs.

Boston, Massachusetts, United States

During my visit at the Wyss I worked on enzyme encapsulation and monoclonal antibody encapsulation. I utilized my droplet microfluidics expertise to encapsulate the cargo of interest within biocompatible materials.

New Mexico, United States

At the Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies I designed artificial light-harvesting systems, where amphiphilic diblock copolymers were used as a flexible matrix for organization of donor and acceptor chromophores.

Streamlined explosive modeling utilizing two hydrodynamics codes and 3D modeling (XRAGE, FLAG, OSO) to generate a library of testing models and methods.
