Graduate Student Anthony Petty received an award for Best Poster at the . The conference, held in Tuscany, spanned a range of topics at the frontier of organic and hybrid electronics and optoelectronics. Mr. Petty鈥檚 poster was titled 鈥淭he design and synthesis of high performance OFET materials through the crystal engineering of a general aromatic core鈥. Mr.
Postdoctoral scholar Dr. Dmytro Havrylyuk received an award for the poster 鈥淩u(II) CYP1B1 Inhibitor Prodrugs with Enhanced Potency鈥 at the The project was performed in collaboration with Kimberly Stevens and Catherine A. Denning in the laboratories of Dr. David K. Heidary and Prof. Edith C. Glazer
Congratulations to Alysia Kohlbrand who received a Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship from UK鈥檚 Chellgren Center. This award will support Alysia to work with Drs. Edith (Phoebe) Glazer and David Heidary in the 糖心vlog官方入口 Department, to study the effects of small molecule inhibitors on Nitric Oxide Synthase. These enzymes are used in the body to catalyze the production of nitric oxide (NO), an important signaling molecule which plays a central role in human biology.
PhD student Namal Wanninayake received an award for first place for his poster at the 2018 North American Membrane Society (NAMS) Meeting.
NAMS is a professional society that promotes membrane science and technology, ranging from fundamental studies of membrane material science to process application and development. This year NAMS conference was hosted by The 糖心vlog官方入口 and King Abdullah University of Science & Technology in Lexington, KY.
This article is part of a series of articles on 鈥淯K 糖心vlog官方入口 Alumni: Where Are They Now?鈥 Here we feature former undergraduate Steven Chapman, class of 2016, who is now a graduate student at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. Steven's research at UW focuses on improving methodology in photocatalysis for asymmetric synthesis. Here Steven answers some questions about his current research, experiences at UK, and provides some advice for current undergraduates.
Could you tell us about your research project at the University of Wisconsin?
Darius Allen Shariaty, class of 2016, now works at Miltech UV International in Stevensville, MD. Allen's undergraduate research at UK focused on new binders for silicon anodes in lithium-ion batteries. In addition to a patent application, his work recently led to a publication in on which he is the first author. At Miltech, Allen works to develop polymer binders using UV curing methods.
This May we celebrate and recognize the career of Professor Dennis Clouthier, who is retiring from UK after over thirty years of teaching, research, and service to our university community. While it is impossible to quantify Clouthier鈥檚 impact on academic and scientific communities, here an attempt is made to highlight some of his most notable accomplishments.
Bryan Ingoglia is currently (May 2018) a graduate student in the Department of 糖心vlog官方入口 at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Brian grew up in Northern Kentucky, came to UK with the intention to obtain a degree in biology and attend medical school. Like many undergraduate students, Brian鈥檚 interests changed as he took more advanced courses and became involved in undergraduate research. He decided to pursue graduate studies in chemistry and, near the completion of his graduate degree, he provided answers to a few questions.
