Looking forward to my invited seminar at @ChemistryatUIC on Tuesday Mar 3rd (4 pm at SES 238)! I'll be sharing my group's recent advances on synthetic discovery of NCs with metastable structures conducive to ionic transport.
Two PhD openings in my group, happy to discuss

Can second that! #CASFutureLeaders was/is an amazing experience, thanks to @petercarlton and team 😎

[Dr. Daisy Pooler | daisypooler.bsky.social @DaisyPooler]

the best thing about being a #CASFutureLeader is being treated like a VIP everywhere you go. I'm having so much fun at #ACSFall2024 🥹

📢#careerupdate I completed my postdoctoral training at @argonne w/ @eshevchenko_a earlier this month. I led a broad range of projects on synthesis-driven discovery initiatives in nanostructured energy materials: to design & develop efficient, non-combustible battery chemistries

[Progna Banerjee, Ph.D @progna_physics]

Shoutout to my PhD advisor @plasmon at the @UofIllinois who helped me transform from a physics student into a chemistry researcher. Many attributes that I will be carrying forward as a researcher & mentor, will be influenced by the formative years spent with his group.

[Progna Banerjee, Ph.D @progna_physics]

My latest postdoc work from @argonne with @eshevchenko_a discusses the discovery of a new phase in cation exchanged copper selenide faceted nanocrystals and nanoplatelets at high pressures using the @advancedphoton @GSECARS_rocks beamline. https://t.co/JYh13FVcnC
