Jiyun selected for the “School of Fish: STEM Careers in IP” program!
Jiyun traveled to Washington D.C to participate in the School of Fish program, designed to introduce undergraduate and graduate STEM students to intellectual property law. Congrats Jiyun!
Alvaro receives the 2024 ACS Leader Scholar award! Congrats!
The ACS Leader Scholars program is special cohort formed by the American Chemical Society for undergraduate and graduate students interested in professional development, leadership training, and networking. Activities will be led by various STEM and social science professionals whose experiences and background includes providing professional development to undergraduates, graduate students, and early career scientists.
Sterling and Xuelin both defended their theses this spring!
Sterling defended his thesis on “Synthesis and Functionalization of Bullvalene-Derived Materials” and Xuelin defended his thesis on “DEVELOPMENT OF FUNCTIONAL ENYNE MOLECULES TO CONTROL DEGRADABILITY AND ARCHITECTURE IN METATHESIS POLYMERS”. We’ll miss their expertise in the lab, but wish them the best with their careers after Tech! Congrats Dr. Sweningson and Dr. Sui!!!
