Hello, and welcome to our website (last updated October 2024)! We are The Sustainable Dye Chemistry Laboratory, focused on making the world a better place one dye molecule at a time. Our lab is headed by Dr. Tova N. Williams. At the heart of our research interests is the design, development, and application of synthetic and bio-based dyes for incorporation into polymeric materials, using methods that prioritize sustainable chemistry practices to create solutions that reduce environmental impact without sacrificing performance. Of particular current interest in this respect, are dyes that exhibit hydrophobicity and high photostability.

Our laboratory is affiliated with the BioColour Consortium, a global team of researchers dedicated to exploring sources of biocolor for industrial applications such as textile dyeing.
