And we celebrated with a little bit of @McMasterU tradition 🥂🥂🌞

It was a busy Aug-Sep period when the group celebrated the production of its 4th #PhD @kuroonai and two masters @Ipakchi_Hossein and Nick Rountes. The latter were also the first two purely experimental theses produced from the group.@Mac_ChemEng @oligomasterinc

Thanks for featuring our ongoing work aiming at closing the loop for #PVC materials flow and reducing #PlasticWaste. #Recycling #PlasticPollution #Sustainability

Polyvinyl chloride, or PVC, is ubiquitous, and yet billions of pounds of it is left to languish in landfills every year. A startup headed by McMaster researcher @XiResearchGroup and graduate is aiming to disrupt that model. https://t.co/N26mCX4wsf

Yesterday, we celebrated Yucheng Feng's defense for M. Sc. in computational science and engineering. All the best, Yucheng!

[Xi Research Group (McMaster University) @XiResearchGroup]

Congratulations, Lubhan, who finished second place in the poster competition of the @Mac_ChemEng Conference #MUCEC. Also big kudos to Adekunle, Nick, Hossein, and Yuriy for representing the group so well at the event.

What an experience co-hosting the 1st #Circular #Vinyl Technologies (#CVT) symposium with @oligomasterinc on Tues! We are overwhelmed by the positive responses from the industry. Kudos to all students who contributed! #sustainability #recycling #ZeroPlasticWaste @Mac_ChemEng

[Xi Research Group (McMaster University) @XiResearchGroup]

The latest COVER of #Macromolecular Theory & Simulations @WileySTEM features @kuroonai 's work showing that by optimally re-allocating computational resources between sampling windows, more efficient #FreeEnergy calculation can be achieved. @Mac_ChemEng

Happy to celebrate with the @oligomasterinc team on our various partnership projects on #sustainable plastics #manufacturing !

(Yes, I noticed the floating heads as well, and yes, they are real team members 😝)

[Xi Research Group (McMaster University) @XiResearchGroup]

Go @kuroonai !

[McMaster ChemEng @Mac_ChemEng]

Congratulations to both Naveen Vasudevan and Sarah Arnold for their achievements at #CCEC2022, @CIC_ChemInst! 🥳🎉

[Xi Research Group (McMaster University) @XiResearchGroup]

Congratulations to @kuroonai for winning the best poster award in the student poster competition at #CCEC2022 of @CIC_ChemInst !

Kept on referring to this VLLE phase diagram as the "bunny head" plot in my thermodynamics class. Now finally something new to use!

Catching probably the last bit of warmth of the year, the group enjoyed some quality fun time together in a BBQ party -- the first in-person gathering of the last three years!🍔🍔🥳🎉

[Xi Research Group (McMaster University) @XiResearchGroup]

Check out @McMasterEng highlighting the work of Abigail, one of the four wonderful summer students who had the fortune to work with this year! @Mac_ChemEng

[McMaster Engineering @McMasterEng]

Our Mac Eng community got a taste of research and ice cream at our Undergraduate Research Showcase last week. 🍦🧑‍🔬

Viscoelastic properties of polymers are notoriously challenging to compute in molecular simulation. This study reveals the best practice for getting such properties both reliably and efficiently. @XiResearchGroup https://t.co/V5TQkbAdWK

[Xi Research Group (McMaster University) @XiResearchGroup]

We are fortunate to have four brilliant undergraduate researchers working with us in the summer.

[Xi Research Group (McMaster University) @XiResearchGroup]

Work by our latest PhD Grad Oluseye was selected as a Featured article by Phys. Fluids @AIP_Publishing . It investigates the best practices for computing viscoelastic properties of #polymers in computer models. @Mac_ChemEng
