In 2011 he became the founding Pritzker Director and dean of the Institute for Molecular Engineering (IME) at the University of Chicago, in addition to serving as senior scientist at Argonne National Laboratory. Tirrell's research specializes in the manipulation and measurement of polymer surface properties, polyelectrolyte complexation, and biomedical nanoparticles. In 2019, IME became the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering and Tirrell was named Robert A. Millikan Distinguished Service Professor and Dean. Tirrell was born in Phillipsburg, New Jersey on September 5, 1950. He received a bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering (B.S. Ch.E.) in 1973 Northwestern University, and a Ph.D. in 1977 from University of Massachusetts Amherst in Polymer Science and Engineering under Stanley Middleman. In 1977, Tirrell became an assistant professor in the department of chemical engineering and materials science at the University of Minnesota, receiving promotions through the academic ranks and serving as the head of the department from 1995 to 1999. In 1999, he moved to the University of California, Santa Barbara, where was Richard A. Auhll Professor and dean of the college of engineering. In 2009, he moved to the University of California, Berkeley as Arnold and Barbara Silverman Professor and chair of the department of bioengineering, as well as a professor of materials science and engineering and chemical engineering and a faculty scientist in the Materials Science Division at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. In 2011, Tirrell became the founding Pritzker Director and dean of the Institute for Molecular Engineering (IME) at the University of Chicago. In September 2015, he was appointed as the deputy laboratory director for science at Argonne National Laboratory. He stepped out of this role in April 2018. In 2019, IME became the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering and Tirrell was named Robert A. Millikan Distinguished Service Professor and Dean.
