RCSA, @SloanFoundation & @KavliFoundation have made awards to 8 cross-disciplinary teams of early career researchers in the second year of #Scialog: Sustainable Minerals, Metals, and Materials. Congratulations! https://t.co/jZ594qMFGf
Congratulations to #Scialog: Sustainable Minerals, Metals, and Materials team Jaime Barros-Rios @Mizzou, Jeromy Rech @J3ROMY_@UncAvl, and Julie Rorrer @julie_rorrer@UWChemE for “Engineering Plant-Based Semiconductors for Solar-Powered Space Agriculture.”
2nd meeting of #Scialog: Sustainable Minerals, Metals, and Materials comes to a close today. Thanks, everyone, for great discussions & ideas on how to acquire, use, and recycle the critical materials that sustain our high-tech society. – with @SloanFoundation@KavliFoundation
This summer has been incredibly productive thanks to the many hardworking students of the Rech Research Lab. It is crazy to see how big we've grown in just 2 years, and super excited to see what amazing thing come next!
The first meeting of #Scialog: Sustainable Minerals, Metals, and Materials comes to a close today with Fellows presenting proposals for collaborative cross-disciplinary projects. Thanks, good luck, and see you next year!
I am very excited and honored to be a part of this cohort! I am looking forward to the many collaborations and unique ideas on sustainability that will be generated from this opportunity. Stay tuned for great research to come!!
More than 50 early career Fellows have been selected for the 1st meeting of a 3-year #Scialog initiative to spark advances in the mining, design, manufacture, and disposal of materials needed to achieve a more sustainable and low-carbon energy system. https://t.co/3EHX8uZaQh
The very first instrument of the Rech Research Lab has arrived! Meet our new microwave reactor from @CEMcorporation. Undergraduate students will use this to synthesize new conjugated polymers for organic solar cells.
Today marks my last day @Stanford, a perfect place for my postdoc. A huge thanks to @zhenanbao & all Bao group members for cultivating excellence in research! I have grown so much as a scientist, mentor, and teacher thanks to you - excited to apply this in my own lab @UncAvl!
Our great collaborative paper was just selected by @MaterHoriz as the winner of this year's Outstanding Article Award! A huge thanks to @jaimemartinp81 for leading this work. Check out the full details and paper here: https://t.co/YBcAR7COfU
Excited to share that I'll be joining @UncAvl as Assistant Professor of Chemistry this summer! I will also have an amazing group of undergrads in my research group working on making low cost, scalable, and recyclable conjugated polymers for solar cells.
We've shown that you can grow plants under semi-transparent solar cells, but is the produce the same?? Check out our new work in @FrontPlantSci - genomic analysis shows how lettuce actually has improved nutrient content when grown under OPVs!

Congrats @LewisUAlumni@J3ROMY_ on the @Forbes honor! You have soared high since your days of winning sustainability contests, presenting undergraduate research in Washington DC, and receiving Lasallian Research grants at #LewisU#LewisUAchieve
I'm extremely excited & honored to have been selected for Forbes 30 Under 30! #ForbesUnder30
I have had such amazing mentors, friends, family, & peers which have contributed to my success and want to extend a huge thank you!

New work published in @WaterRes_J! We report a #Battery based on electrodialysis. Osmosis ruins the efficiency, so we explore a variety of ballast to stop osmosis. In the end, we show that we can make a battery using salt, sugar, & water! Check it out: https://t.co/EFJxLvDnIf
A great follow up publication is now available in Optics Express (@OpticaPubsGroup). Here we further explore how we can create photodetectors to mimic the amazing eyes of a mantis shrimp! Check it out here: https://t.co/dIm9RUd0wI
