Congrats to Jonathan Wheeler for passing his prelim! Our newest PhD candidate! 🎉 Jon presented his work on Visible-Light Harvesting Cr(III) Photosensitizers.



The group had a blast at the departments 25th annual poster session! Our 2nd year grad students Adrienne💫 and Conor McCormick presented posters as well as 3rd year student Azka Arshad and post doc Alexandra T. Barth! Congrats to all who attended for the great work shown off!




The latest collaboration of the The Castellano Group NC State Chemistry with Lin Chen and Michael Mara Argonne National Lab and Xiaosong Li from UWChemistry. Thanks to DOE Office of Science for funding! pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Sometimes, the The Castellano Group NC State Chemistry assists our friends NC State Engineering across the street in all things #photochemistry. Thanks to Austin Pyrch for his efforts! Color morphing surfaces with effective chemical shielding disq.us/t/4odjduu




The The Castellano Group NC State Chemistry investigates the steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopic properties of vanadium(V) molecules for LMCT-activated bond homolysis reactions. BioLEC EFRC Phil Castellano Alexandra T. Barth. Thanks to DOE Office of Science for funding! go.acs.org/aJb

Congrats to Alexandra T. Barth , Austin Pyrch and, Conor McCormick for getting their paper on LMCT activated bond homolysis for almost radical generation published in JPC! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Check out our recently published JPC article reporting triplet extinction coefficients and annihilation rate constants for commonly used metalloporphyrin photosensitizers. Congratulations to Azka Arshad! pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…


Congrats to Alexandra T. Barth for her recent collaboration on Ligand field excitation annihilation in bulk CrCl3 with the Maggard group and Dougherty group! J. Chem. Phys. 161, 114706 (2024)


Congrats to our latest PhD Candidate Azka Arshad ! Azka presented her work focusing on Homomolecular Triplet-Triplet Annihilation in Metalloporphyrin Photosensitizers. 🎉🎉🎉


We had a blast hosting The Exploris School for two days of showing cool chemistry to excited students! Huge thanks to @susdyechemlab for the cool dye experiments and Abolhasani Lab for showing off an awesome AI powered robotic arm that could play tic tac toe with pipettes!

Congratulations Dr. Cortés Villena Alejandro Cortes-Villena for the great Ph. D. dissertation!! #perovskites #energy at ICMol thanks to the experts of the thesis committee Virginia Martinez Alejandro Cadranel and The Castellano Group !!


The Castellano Group Great time speaking to Phil Castellano in his visit to CMU Chemistry. Thank you so much for the great talk!


We're thrilled to announce that Postdoc Alexandra Barth from The Castellano Group has been selected as one of only 35 awardees worldwide for the prestigious Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) Future Leaders program! 🤩 NC State Sciences #chempack chemistry.sciences.ncsu.edu/2025/04/02/bar…
