Professor David S. Bergsman (dbergs@uw.edu)

In my scientific career, I have had the pleasure of working with a wide variety of passionate, creative thinkers, tackling some of the most pressing issues of our lifetimes. Their diverse perspectives have inspired me to explore the limits of technological innovation by making things that were previously considered impossible. In my group, I strive to create a welcoming research environment that fosters thinkers from many different backgrounds to pursue their scientific interests, generate radical new ideas, and contribute to international scholarship. Together, we can work towards a better world.
