On Dec. 5, 2022, a team at LLNL's National Ignition Facility conducted the first controlled fusion experiment in history to achieve fusion ignition. Also known as scientific energy breakeven, the experiment produced more energy from fusion than the laser energy used to drive it.

I'm happy to have received the Bird-Stewart-Lightfoot Wisconsin Distinguished Graduate Fellowship! Thanks to the UW-Madison CBE department for this honor!

We are tremendously appreciative of Army Research Office support to explore diamondoid ionic liquids for multivalent batteries. Kudos to Ryan Cashen, Jack McAlpine and other GebbieLab members who co-launched this project. We are excited to grow connections with U.S. Army DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory

Congrats to our own Elvis Umaña for receiving the highly prestigious U.S. National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship! Elvis studies ion transport properties in concentrated electrolytes using both experimental and data science approaches, and is co-advised with the Zavala Lab.





Thanks to the undergraduate students in the UW-Madison CBE department for selecting me as a Ragatz TA award winner! Good news to wrap up the term! Always a fun time to help teach thermodynamics classes.

At the last UW-Madison CBE seminar for the year, two graduate students present their thesis work before the department announces research and teaching awards for graduate students around the department. This is a super fun tradition that allows us to reflect on student successes.





AIChE starts next week and UW-Madison CBE will be well-represented! A list of presentations by CBE researchers is at uwmadison.box.com/s/ws6fl800mjks…. Be sure to visit our reception on Monday, Nov 6, and students interested in our PhD program can visit our booth on Sunday, Nov 5.
