Yichun graduates!

5/7/2022

 
Yichun Yuan, a MS student in our group, graduated today! Yichun worked on the synthesis and characterization of ligand-modified coumarin enamines for transition metal binding, in collaboration with theWallace group at the University of Southern Mississippi. Yichun will move to the PhD program at Case Western Reserve University in Fall 2023. Congratulations Yichun!

​Yifei defended!

5/26/2021

 
Yifei Xu, a PhD student in our group, successfully defended her dissertation today! In our group, Yifei developed several differential sensing applications, centering on the detection and discrimination of anions in water media (e.g. biological carboxylates, beta-lactam antibiotics). Yifei was also the first in our group to move her sensor systems to low-cost disposable solid supports, to improve their performance and application-friendliness. Yifei is now off to a position as a Senior QA Chemist at a drug manufacturing company in her native China. Congratulations Dr. Xu!

Yichun held her first-year meeting

5/18/2021

 
Yichun Yuan, a first-year student in our group, held her first meeting with her graduate dissertation committee this morning. Yichun presented her work on functionalization of PAMAM dendrimers with boronic acids with different substitution patterns, and her plans for her future work in our group. Congratulations, Yichun!

Michael Ihde, a fifth-year graduate student in our group, was awarded again the 2020 Outstanding Graduate Student award. This is the premier graduate award from our Department, given to a senior graduate student by a vote of the faculty to recognize academic, research, and service accomplishments through a student’s graduate career. We are proud of Michael progress in his graduate career and thankful of his contributions to our group. Congratulations to Michael on a well-deserved recognition!

Michael Ihde defended!

12/4/2020

 
Michael Ihde, a PhD student in our group, successfully defended his dissertation today! His work in our group focused on the development of our understanding of supramolecular interactions as used in differential sensing applications. In his work, Michael contributed to the development of array-based sensing systems for multiple classes of analytes, including metal ions, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and industrial dyes. He also made significant progress towards solving the "problem of mixtures", i.e. a common shortcoming of such sensing systems when confronted with mixtures of analytes. Congratulations Dr. Ihde!

Welcome Yichun

11/23/2020

​Yichun Yuan joined our group as a new graduate student. Yichun graduated with a BEng from Beijing University of Chemical Technology and a MS from Case Western Reserve University, then briefly worked as a research assistant at the University of Akron after deciding to continue her studies towards a PhD with us. Yichun will focus on the study of covalent modification of PAMAM dendrimers. We are excited for her to come onboard and to bring further synthetic polymer chemistry experience to the group. Welcome Yichun!

​Xiyuan, a graduate student in the group, successfully passed her oral candidacy exam at the end of May, presenting an update on her research since her initial review last year, and an original proposal. Xiyuan is now a Ph.D. candidate: congratulations!

Flor completed her IRR

3/3/2020

 
​Flor successfully completed her initial research review (IRR) today, presenting the work she carried out on the analytical pattern-based detection of redox-active materials (e.g. antioxidants) in water. Congratulations Flor!

Xiaoli defended!

5/2/2019

 
Xiaoli Liang, a PhD student in our group, successfully defended her dissertation today! Xiaoli also recently accepted a position as a postdoctoral researcher in the Gillies research group at the University of Western Ontario. Congratulations Dr. Liang, and best wishes for your future career!

Past REU student awarded highest academic recognition

6/9/2018

 
Flor Lozada Santiago from the Universidad Interamericana in Puerto Rico was an REU student in our group in summer 2017. Flor then went back to PR to finish her degree, and graduated this May 2018 summa cum laude. She was also selected to receive the John Will Harris Medal, her alma mater's highest academic recognition. Flor will start her graduate studies at UA this summer. Congratulations Flor!

REU student joins the group
