We would like to say goodbye and congratulations to Shalaka Dewan, a post-doctoral student studying the Role of β carbon in the ethanol oxidation reaction on Platinum catalysts. She has accepted a position at IPG Photonics as a Laser Engineer....

We would like to say goodbye and congratulations to our two recently graduated master’s students, Matthew Gonzalez and Jerome Fineman. Both of these bright minded members will be moving on to bigger better things. Matt will be pursue his PhD at University of California: San Diego in the lab of Dr. Ping. Jerome has accepted an offer with Accenture as a Technology Consultant....

David’s paper on Pt3Re alloy nanoparticles as electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction been published in Nano Energy. The paper uses a nanoparticle Pt3Re system to study the catalytic enhancement of the oxygen reduction reaction due to ligand effect. Congratulations to David!

David’s paper on highly dense Cu Nanowires for Low Overpotential CO2 Reduction has been published in Nanoletters. The paper uses thermal growth of CuO nanowires to synthesize an array of CuO nanowires from a Cu mesh substrate. These CuO nanowires are then reduced via two techniques and applied as catalysts for CO2 reduction. Congratulations to David!
