Congratulations to Hemanth Pillai for successfully passing the doctoral qualifying exam and ascending to PhD candidacy! He is working on modeling electrode-electrolyte interfaces for ammonia fuel cells.

Congrats to Siwen receiving the travel award from the AIChE Catalysis and Reaction Engineering Division to present her work on chemisorption theory development.

Siwen, Hemanth, and Hongliang participated the CEED Imagination Camp with middle schoolers. See Galleries for this exciting event!

Congrats to Jiamin for receiving the NSF travel award to present at the Machine Learning in Science and Engineering Symposium.

Jiamin, Hemanth, Shih-Han, and Dr. Xin presented at the CMU-Georgia Tech Symposium on Machine Learning in Science and Engineering.

Congrats to Dr. Liang Yu for the Nat. Commun. paper on ammonia synthesis. This is in collaboration with Feng's group at UCF. Here we report efficient electroreduction of N2 to NH3 on palladium nanoparticles in phosphate buffer solution under ambient conditions. 

Dr. Xin received the 2018 Dean's Award for Outstanding New Assistant Professor in recognition of extraordinary performance.

Congrats to Zheng, Noushin, Wei Shan, and Ester for the paper on machine learning published in J. Phys. Chem. A. In this work, machine-learning algorithms equipped with the domain knowledge of chemical graph theory were employed for predicting the energy gaps of >12 000 porphyrins from the Computational Materials Repository.
