We had a busy Spring, with three students successfully defending their honors theses… congrats to Adam, Brian, and Cathy!
THE CAO LAB
More azaacene diimides
Our diimides made their way to Germany and the Bunz Lab and turned into a fun series of azaacenes with NIR absorptions and great electron affinities. Read more here.
Conor defends Honors thesis
Conor fended off the pandemic with a presentation and successful defense of his Honors work. Conor will stick around Macalester for a little, take a gap year, then pursue a PhD at UC Berkeley. Congrats Conor!
Dennis Receives Tenure
It’s official! Dennis has received tenure at Macalester, which was only possible because of the contributions of everyone who spent time in the Cao Lab. We’re looking forward to the next ??? years!
