Our Lab is best known for our work with water, but our interests are diverse–including energy, health, and fundamental physics.
\n\n\n\n
Part of the Bioengineering Department at the University of Washington, we are located in wet and wonderful Seattle.
\n\n
\nWe are an active group, working in a stimulating environment. Apart from the usual complement of postdocs, students and staff, a distinctive feature is the many undergraduates who are consistently attracted to the laboratory because of its open, free-thinking atmosphere.

A NOTE FROM Dr. POLLACK REGARDING
\n\nCORPORATE ENDORSEMENTS
\n\n
\n\nMultiple companies producing water-based products use my picture to imply that we endorse their products.
\n\nI do share personal experiences on various interviews. However, we have no formal association with any outside company other than our own 4th-Phase, Inc.; nor do I receive fees from any company producing water-based products.
