Kelley group members come from all over the world and we value having people from many different backgrounds.

Over the ten years, we have generated ~ 200 publications, ~ 50 Ph.D. students / postdoctoral trainees, and have started four new companies based on technologies developed in the group. Our trainees have taken exciting positions at top-tier universities and companies around the world.

We have laboratories at Northwestern in Evanston as well as Chicago. Our group benefits tremendously from the world-class facilities on campus.
