Kudos to PhD candidates Payel Biswas, Mastoureh Shirjandi and our very own Dr. Irene Andreu who are attending the Materials Research Society Fall Meeting in Boston this week! Mastoureh and Payel have posters at the meeting.
It was a pleasure to see my graduate student, Daniel Keane, give a seminar to our @uri_che department yesterday discussing his work on polymer-linked emulsions, including their development, potential applications, and chemical optimizations!
Congratulations to @menonlab_uri member Sophia Boiani, who successfully defended her Master's thesis yesterday! 🎉🎉Sophia's project was on the development of polymer bioinks that can be used in Intervertebral disc tissue engineering.

Two good news!!
I’ve passed my comprehensive exam and become a PhD candidate!
Also, I've received the Division of Soft Matter (@ApsDsoft ) Future Investigator Travel Award! I plan to use this award to attend @APSphysics meeting in March. Look forward to seeing many of you there!
We are #hiring for a joint faculty position in Biomedical & Pharmaceutical Sciences and Chemical Engineering at University of Rhode Island! Join our wonderful collaborative faculty, train amazing students in the Ocean State! #URxI#GoRhody#pharmaceutics https://t.co/RtuJQC6dSY
New paper 🎉🥳
Using molecular dynamics simulations, we show that grafted polymers are dynamically confined near a particle surface but this confinement weakens in concert with structural changes farther from the surface. Dynamics depends on structure!

ChE Department seminar speaker this weak is Dr. Iordania Constantinou, our collaborator from Germany. Grateful to have her with us this week! @RoxburyLab
ChE Department welcomes Dr. Sarah Perry to URI on Thursday, 4/6 for our Spring Seminar Series. Looking forward to her presentation! @perrys_lab@RPS_lab
We are looking forward to hosting a visit from Dr. Jeffrey Fagan, Project Leader, Polymers and Complex Fluids, NIST this Thursday. He will be discussing “Filling, Coating, Separating, and Assembling; Advancing Single-Wall Carbon Nanotube Technologies and Metrology.”
This week we will host the 5th seminar in our Spring 2023 Series. Dr. Irina leaf will discuss Systems Biology Platform: Roadmap from Characterizing the Mechanism of Disease to Identifying Health Restoring Therapies. Join us!
As a reminder, I'm organizing the 94th New England Complex Fluids workshop at URI on March 17th! We're still looking for abstracts for soundbites. Come join us!
Submit your abstracts at: https://t.co/vxCnjr8fpb
Abstract deadline: March 15th
Free registration
Excited to be hosting the next meeting of New England Complex Fluids @universityofri on March 17th!
We have a great program including invited talks from Dr. Corey O'Hern, Dr. Leslie Shor, @ianywonglab, and @Evan_K_Wujcik
Submit abstracts by March 15th! Hope to see you there!
Tomorrow the ChE Department will be hosting its 4th seminar of the Spring Series. Dr. Bradley Olsen of MIT will present "Towards Quantitative Structure-Property Relationships for Polymer Biodegradability."
This Thursday, two of our PhD candidates will be presenting! Matt Card (pictured below) will be joined by Temo Kuester. Temo will be speaking about "SERS detection of charged marine pollutants through self-assembled cationic monolayers on gold nanopillar arrays".
