Laura was one of the members of a Nanoporous Materials Genome Center (NMGC) team that has created a game that will teach young people about nanotechnology, engage them in working on a real-world problem and spark their creativity to build structures that will help solve a troublesome real-world environmental issue.
Sam Stoneburner, now a third-year graduate student, received the 2016 Robert and Jill DeMaster Fellowship, one of the Department of Chemistry’s Excellence Awards.
Sam was also invited by his undergraduate institution, Hillsdale College, to give an invited talk, “Catechol-Ligated Transition Metals: A Quantum Chemical Study on a Promising System for Gas Separation,” and to meet with current undergraduates to tell them about life in graduate school. Congratulations to Sam on both of these accomplishments!
Laura is now a fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry through its “Leaders in the Field” program.
Fellows in this program are outstanding individuals in the chemical science community.
Laura is the recipient of the 2016 Bourke Award from the Royal Society of Chemistry, honored for her contributions to quantum chemistry.
This award honors the top scientists in their fields for the originality of their research, the impact of their research, quality of their publications, patents or software, innovation, professional standing, and collaborations and teamwork.
Graduate student Chad Hoyer is one of ten recipients of the Department of Chemistry’s 2016-17 Doctoral Dissertation Fellowships (DDF).
The DDF program provides a stipend, tuition, and special travel grants to its awardees. Congratulations, Chad!
