Another prelim in the books! Please join us in congratulating Antoine on becoming a PhD candidate. Félicitations! 🥳🍰

[Michaudel Lab @MichaudelLab]

Huge congratulations to Dr. Jake Nicholson and Dr. An Tran, who both recently defended their PhD dissertations. Two new doctors in one week! We are so proud of you both.

[Michaudel Lab @MichaudelLab]

Excited to share our latest paper, now out in Tetrahedron Letters as part of the special issue honoring Prof. Pep Cornella. @CornellaLab
“From amines to diazenes via SuFEx and the aza-Ramberg–Bäcklund reaction: scope and practical considerations.”

ACS Spring 2026 🧪✨
Presentations ✔️
Networking ✔️
Coffee ✔️
A successful week all around. We hope you had a chance to catch these great talks!
Here are a few moments from Quentin, Srutashini, and Mary 👇

[Michaudel Lab @MichaudelLab]

Well done, Varun, for an amazing third-year seminar! His talk highlighted the hard work and progress he's made over the past few years. Excited to see what's next!🎉

Diazene fragmentation couldn’t help but look at a triplet energy transfer⚡️
A tunable handle for radical cross-coupling, a great collaboration with @LudoTroian !
✨Check out this cool new work out in @J_A_C_S

New precision PPV synthesis unlocked 🔓
In collaboration with the @Gutierrez_Lab, we leveraged mechanistic studies of stereoretentive ROMP of PCDs to uncover unique platforms for the precise synthesis of PPVs
Pre-print available now on @ChemRxiv ! 👀

We're delighted to announce not one but TWO awards recently received in the Michaudel Lab!

Srutashini Das, one of our amazing fourth-year grad students, and our very own PI Dr. Quentin Michaudel are recipients of two prestigious awards listed below. Both very well-deserved!🎉👏

[Michaudel Lab @MichaudelLab]

@Srutashini has received the 2026 Kenneth G. Hancock Memorial Award from the ACS Green Chemistry Institute! With this award, she'll be presenting her research at the Annual Green Chemistry & Engineering Conference in San Antonio this coming June. Congrats, Srutashini!

[Michaudel Lab @MichaudelLab]

Can't ROMP pyridine-containing monomers because of Ru coordination?

Have you tried . . . ✨adding acid?✨

Our group's newest work on the acid-promoted ROMP and N-functionalization of pyridine-fused norbornenes is out now! Congrats to the team!💣🎉

[Michaudel Lab @MichaudelLab]

Check out our group's new Perspective published in @ScienceMagazine highlighting some great work on modulating thermoplastic properties through light-mediated stereocontrol!

We love when others share our passion for polymer stereochemical control!🫶

[Michaudel Lab @MichaudelLab]

Who's this? Oh, just Srutashini—one of our excellent grad students who was recently selected to the #ACSSpring2026 @POLY_ACS Excellence in Graduate Polymer Research Symposium! Make sure to check out her poster at session POLY034A this coming March in Atlanta!

[Michaudel Lab @MichaudelLab]

Here comes double trouble (in the best way 😈)!

Check out our work now published in @angew_chem using fluorosulfonyl aziridines as bifunctional electrophiles as a platform for alkene diversification!

https://t.co/fG0tMpooe2

[Michaudel Lab @MichaudelLab]

New @ChemRxiv preprint alert! 🚨
Alkene diversification just got easier with our new work on the synthesis of fluorosulfonyl aziridines from FSO2NH2! When you see what this bifunctional electrophile can do, you'll be *twice* as excited to try it yourself✨
