@AisuluAitbekova @YaleCNCC @YaleEnvEng @YaleEngineering Thank you!!

[Lea Winter @LeaRWinter]

Excited to continue our work on plasma and electrochemical CO2 upgrading with a DOE Early Career Award!
Big thanks to my students who collected preliminary data for this and to @YaleCNCC for seed funding to get it started.
