Kornfield studies the macroscopic properties of polymer materials. Her research considers the physics and chemistry of polymers, as well as treatments for eye disease. She built a range of optical methods for rheology, combining molecular level probes with rheology measurements. These investigations

After completing her two-year post-doctoral fellowship in
Germany, Kornfield was recruited to join the chemical engineering faculty at Caltech in 1990. She is the first woman who earned her bachelor's at Caltech to return as a professor. Five years later, she was promoted to Associate Professor in
