Group member Rebecca Carlson has received the American Chemical Society Chemical Computing Group Excellence Award.
The award includes a travel grant to attend the ACS National Meeting in Boston, Aug. 16-20. Congratulations, Becky!
Group members (postdoctoral associates Konstantinos Vogiatzis and Varinia Bernales, and former member Nora Planas) are part of a collaboration that investigated the mechanism of this bimetallic catalyst using experimental and theoretical techniques.
The work was recently published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.
Fifth-year graduate student and Gagliardi Group member Joshua Borycz has received one of nine Doctoral Dissertation Fellowships provided to the Department of Chemistry by the University.
The Doctoral Dissertation Fellowship program gives the University’s most accomplished doctorate candidates an opportunity to devote full-time efforts to outstanding research projects by providing time to finalize and write a dissertation during the fellowship year. Congratulations, Josh!
Graduate student Allison Dzubak and postdoctoral associates Samuel O. Odoh and Nora Planas performed quantum chemical calculations on some diamine-appended metal-organic frameworks which can behave as phase-change adsorbents.
This study has been featured in Nature. Great work, Allison, Sam, and Nora!
The leadership team of the Inorganometallic Catalyst Design Center (Director Laura Gagliardi, Deputy Director Joe Hupp, Managing Director Jody Kaplan, and Scientific Coordinator Laura Fernandez) participated in the ICDC EFRC Management Review in Washington, DC.
The team made a comprehensive presentation to several program officers from the U.S. Department of Energy and a DOE-selected panel consisting of five expert peer reviewers from different institutions. Some members of the Gagliardi Group participate in the ICDC’s research.
The Gagliardi group has published three papers in Nature Chemistry this year.
This is the largest number of papers that a single group has published in this journal this year. Congratulations to the group!
