The Gagliardi and Cramer groups met in a friendly bowling competition at Memory Lanes in Minneapolis (thanks to group member Andy Sonnenberger for organizing this).
The Gagliardi group won, as always! (Notice Laura accepting the trophy from Chris.)
Group member Samuel Odoh, in collaboration with Prof. Chris Cramer of Minnesota and members of the Minnesota-based Inorganometallic Catalyst Design Center (ICDC), performed computational characterization of “Metal-organic framework nodes as nearly ideal supports for molecular catalysts: NU-1000- and UiO-66-supported iridium complexes.”
A video describing the reaction occurring at the material was produced by group member Josh Borycz and Minnesota Supercomputing Institute’s Ben Lynch.
Group member Chad Hoyer was one of four winners of the University of Minnesota’s 2015 Graduate Student Research Symposium Beaker & Bunsen awards.
Group member Becky Carlson was one of four runners-up. Congratulations, Chad and Becky! We are very proud of you.
Former group member Allison Dzubak received an award for doctoral thesis excellence.
Congratulations, Allison!
Group member Gary Bondarevsky has accepted a position, beginning July 6, as a Server Systems Engineer at Epic Systems Corporation in Madison, Wisconsin.
Congratulations to all! Pictured L to R, below, at the May 2 graduation ceremony: Laura Gagliardi, Allison Dzubak, Prof. Chris Cramer, and Bess Vlaisavljevich.
Laura gave an invited talk, “Gas Separation and Catalysis in Metal-organic Frameworks,” at Boston University, as part of their Monday Colloquium Series.
While there, she met with graduate student and faculty members of the BUWIC (Boston University Women in Chemistry) to discuss the challenges that women face when pursuing a scientific career.
