Applications Development Engineer

As part of the Research and Development team, Sophia Kenrick develops new applications for Wyatt instrumentation, especially in the field of molecular recognition and protein-protein interactions.  She received her BSE in Chemical Engineering from Arizona State University and PhD in Chemical Engineering from the University of California, Santa Barbara.  In her graduate work, Sophia utilized a variety of biophysical techniques, including surface plasmon resonance and quantitative flow cytometry, for characterizing combinatorial protein-binding ligands.  At Wyatt, she applies multi-angle light scattering (MALS), dynamic light-scattering (DLS), composition-gradient multi-angle light scattering (CG-MALS), and massively-parallel phase analysis light scattering (MP-PALS) to new, exciting problems in polymer characterization and biomolecular interactions.  Working with the Applications Team, she also assists in customer training and analytical services.
