The Walker team will study how polymer molecules interact with surfaces. In this research, how strongly the molecules adhere, how the molecules adapt their shapes to surfaces, and the electrical connections between them, will be examined. Proteins and synthetic polymers will be probed using instruments that measure and apply mechanical and electrical forces. Walker is a leading developer of techniques for single molecule adhesion mechanics and high resolution chemical imaging.

步行者团队将研究聚合物分子如何与表面相互作用。在这项研究中，将检查分子粘附的强度，分子如何使其形状适应表面，以及它们之间的电连接。蛋白质和合成聚合物将使用测量和施加机械力和电力的仪器进行探测。步行者是单分子粘附力学和高分辨率化学成像技术的领先开发者。
