The Mindlin Foundation selected Eman for their 2017 Undergraduate Mentored Research Program. The award provides funds for Eman to continue her research into molecular cages all the way through the end of 2017. Congratulations Eman!
The American Chemical Society Petroleum Research Fund has generously funded our proposal on the synthesis of novel aromatic imide compounds for the next few years!
Dennis’ PhD advisor, Fraser Stoddart, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work on molecular machines and switches. Dennis is grateful to have played a part in the Stoddart group, and hopes that his work was at least 0.0001% responsible for the Prize. Congratulations Fraser!!!
It’ll be a busy 10 weeks of summer with 6 students in the lab. Andrew, Qifan, Eman, and Joe are rising junior chemistry majors, and Kofi is a rising sophomore who intends to be a major as well. They will all be synthesizing crazy molecules, characterizing their properties, and generally having a wild time. These […]
Dan presented and successfully defended his Honors Project after an appropriate grilling by a friendly committee. We look forward to seeing his thesis on our shelves soon!
This year’s NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program applicant field had over 17000 applicants, many of whom are current graduate students. We’re proud that Dan was recognized among so many other qualified candidates. Congratulations Dan!
Our group continues to expand! Mohammed is a sophomore chemistry major who got into research by computationally evaluating his organic chemistry professor’s conformational analysis abilities. Mohammed will be attempting to synthesize some novel aromatic imides that he has been modeling over the last semester. Welcome Mohammed!
