Drew presented his research involving a novel three compound layer-by-layer system involving glycerol-based carbon nanoparticles, titanium dioxide and chitosan for use in the photocatalytic degradation of emerging pollutants . Evan presented his work on the synthesis of nano-tungsten oxide compounds for use in photocatalytic degradation of pollutants for water purification
Maddie gave a oral presentation to a full room entitled Engineered Carbon Nanoparticle / Chitosan Composite Materials as Multi-functional and Tunable adsorbents for Water Purification featuring a novel composite for water purification combining our glycerol-based carbon nanoparticles and chitosan derived from waste crab shells.
A perfect complement to our infrared microscopy, our material characterization has taken a big step forward with the arrival of the DXR3 Raman microscope from Thermo Scientific.
The Ann S. Ferren Student Research Award provides a student with the opportunity to perform original research with a chemistry faculty member. The recipient will be selected based upon the quality of the research description, GPA, faculty recommendation, research experience, and career goals.
