Professor Dutchers research program focuses on developing a fundamental understanding and predictive power for the physical properties of polymers, biopolymers and bacterial cells at interfaces. The approach is primarily experimental, using a wide variety of state-of-the-art, surface-sensitive techniques and unique sample geometries, and the results are interpreted in terms of simplified, theoretical models that capture the essential physics and underlying mechanisms. The work is necessarily multidisciplinary, spanning many disciplines such as physics, chemistry, microbiology, and food science, and local, national and international collaborations form an essential part of the research program.

Dutchers教授的研究项目侧重于对界面处聚合物、生物聚合物和细菌细胞的物理特性进行基本理解和预测。该方法主要是实验性的，使用各种最先进的表面敏感技术和独特的样品几何形状，并在简化的理论模型中解释结果，这些模型捕获了基本的物理和基本机制。这项工作必然是多学科的，跨越许多学科，如物理学，化学，微生物学和食品科学，地方，国家和国际合作形成了研究计划的重要组成部分。
