Led by Dr. Li Xi of Chemical Engineering. Focusing on better understanding of fluid and polymer physics, as well as smart and sustainable manufacturing.
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

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
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.
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 π)
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!πππ₯³π
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
Our Mac Eng community got a taste of research and ice cream at our Undergraduate Research Showcase last week. π¦π§βπ¬

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
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#Free download for 14 days! https://t.co/UlgcthbmIq
On April 12, around 200 captivating capstone projects will be presented at the Capstone Expo! Until then, we will be sharing a few in this thread. π§΅
