Xiaoli Liang joined our group as a new graduate student. She will start out on both synthetic and instrumental projects, on the one hand taking over the synthesis of a small dendrimer simulant, and on the other by testing new cationic dyes we received from the Wilson group at the University of Miami. Welcome Xiaoli!
Alie successfully defended her original research proposal today and is officially a Ph.D. candidate. Congratulations Alie!
James "J.T." Vegrzyn, an undergraduate chemistry major, started work in our group today on the characterization of the interactions of a recently synthesized perylene diimide dye with linear anionic polyelectrolytes in water. Welcome JT!
Ashley successfully defended her original research proposal today and is officially a Ph.D. candidate. Congratulations Ashley!
Nicholas White joined our group as a new graduate student. His first project will focus on the synthesis of small molecules that simulate some of the behavior of the large polyelectrolytes our group has been studying. Welcome Nick!
Kyle Glisson, a senior majoring in biology, will be joining the group in the summer to work on an ITC project. Welcome Kyle!
Allison Montgomery, a biology and chemistry major and the current VP for Academic Affairs in the UA Student Government Association, is starting work with us today as an undergraduate researcher; she will be synthesizing small molecules that simulate the behavior of large PAMAM dendrimers. Welcome Allison!
Katheryn Adam, a freshman majoring in chemistry, started work with us today as an undergraduate researcher. She will be studying the binding of positively charged dyes to negatively charged polyelectrolytes in neutral water. Welcome Katheryn!
Catherine Cofer, a junior majoring in chemistry will start work in the group today. She will be studying the use of polyelectrolytes as extractants for hydrophobic organics. Welcome Catherine!
Dr. Yuanli Liu has joined our group as a postdoctoral fellow. Yuanli completed his Ph.D. work at Bowling Green State University under Prof. Pavel Anzenbacher's supervision. He will start work on our fluorescent liposome nanoreactor project. Welcome Yuanli!
Alie passed her Initial Research Review. Congratulations Alie!
Ashley passed her Initial Research Review today. Congratulations Ashley!
C. Grace Nichols, a junior majoring in chemistry, will start in the group today. She will study the temperature effects on the binding affinity of small organic dyes with PAMAM dendrimers.
David Zagardo, a sophomore and an Emerging Scholar, will join the lab as an undergraduate researcher in the summer, to work on NMR characterization of dye structure in solution. Welcome David!
Keegan McNally, a junior majoring in Biology, joined the lab as an undergraduate researcher. Keegan will be working on dye-polyelectrolyte binding studies, concentrating on the linear water soluble polyDADMAC polymer.
Ashley M. Jolly and Alie M. Mallet have joined our lab as first year graduate students. Welcome to the group Alie and Ashley, and thank you for your bravery :-)
Most large scale lab renovations are finally done, hoods and gas lines are installed in the lab. We are ready to receive some new instruments and supplies and start work in earnest!
Madeleine Angles has joined the lab as an undergraduate researcher. Our very first group member! Welcome Maddie!
