Now that all the dust has settled and everyone has safely returned to campus, we are excited to formally welcome all four of our new first-year grad students: Simar, Sayandeep, Trent, and Fang-Yu! Here's to the start of something great! #NotOurSnowman #ButStillSmiling #MaskedUp
Our paper on applying Bayesian statistics to Tafel data analysis is out in @NatureComms! You can read it here: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-021-20924-y
I’m going to attempt my first paper Tweetorial below: 1/11
Our work on the application of Bayesian statistics to Tafel Analysis in CO2 reduction is now peer-reviewed and in @NatureComms! @adityal crunched the numbers and found no preference for TS cardinality. Maybe you read it as a preprint? If not, check it out: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-021-20924-y
Great example of "office musings" yielding useful frameworks - Zack and @adityal take us another step toward understanding chemistry not as "either/or," EChem v. Thermochem, but as universally dependent upon multiple thermo variables. Out now in @Joule_CP! https://www.cell.com/joule/fulltext/S2542-4351(20)30613-9
Online Now: Thermodynamic Discrimination between Energy Sources for Chemical Reactions from @ManthiramLab and @KManthiram http://dlvr.it/RqMYk5 #chemistry #energy #Joule #electrochemistry #thermodynamics
Huge congrats to Katie (@kjsteinb) for passing her thesis proposal! A bright future full of lithium chemistry awaits! #NitrogenReduction #BreakingBonds #TakingNames Pic credit may possibly go to Juniper the cat?? 🐱
We're stoked to welcome 3 new grad students to the team: Sayandeep, Simar, and Trent! Onboarding is not the same right now, but we're looking forward to learning and growing with you, & gradually ramping up research as public health measures allow! #VoltageBoost #LabExcitedState
This one has been a long time coming, but finally in the midst of #AIChE2020 it has arrived! @chung_minju demonstrates chlorine-mediated ethylene epoxidation in saline water.

We continue working on confinement to promote catalysis! Here, super talented faculty candidate @DiIorioCatalyst shows how ordered alcohol solvent networks confined in hydrophobic zeolite pores stabilize transition states. #zeolites @J_A_C_S https://twitter.com/DiIorioCatalyst/status/1321444121832267776
Check out our latest paper in @J_A_C_S! We show that hydrophobic zeolites order confined H-bonded alcohol networks and catalyze transfer hydrogenations faster than their hydrophilic counterparts. @Blake_Johnson39 @yuriy_roman http://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jacs.0c09825

Thanks to @MIT News for covering our recent collaboration with @AnikeevaLab! To quote Prof. Anikeeva summarizing a reviewer comment: "Electrolysis in a biological system has never [before] been leveraged to control biological function." http://news.mit.edu/2020/nitric-oxide-messenger-molecule-inside-body-demand-0629
Was amazing to be a part of this exciting work, led by Jimin Park & @ksjinerg where we integrate electrocatalysts and multifunctional fibers to create implantable devices for in-situ production and on-demand release of gaseous NO in deep brain circuits !
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41565-020-0701-x
Our collaboration with @ManthiramLab was published today in @NatureNano. Congratulations to co-first authors Jimin and Kyoungsuk, and the rest of the team.
