    "My project focuses on self-assembled cofacial catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction." 

  • May 2017: Patrick Burns
    7/10/19

    "The research I do focuses on the synthesis and analysis of paramagnetic transition metal complexes made of macrocyclic ligands with pendent arm to coordinate to the metal ion." 

  • April 2017: Daniel Miller
    2/4/19

    "My research is focused on better understanding the chemistry involved in molecules being adsorbed to metallic surfaces and what properties exhibited by such systems are useful." 

  • March 2017: Amaris C. Borges-Muñoz
    2/4/19

    "My research focuses on the development and evaluation of new stationary phases for liquid and supercritical fluid chromatography."
