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".

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."

Excited to be hosting the next meeting of New England Complex Fluids URI on March 17th! We have a great program including invited talks from Dr. Corey O'Hern, Dr. Leslie Shor, Ian Wong Lab at Brown. 🟦ianywonglab, and @Evan_K_Wujcik Submit abstracts by March 15th! Hope to see you there!

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: complexfluids.org Abstract deadline: March 15th Free registration

Enjoying the 94th NE Complex Fluids Workshop today! Thank you to all who participated! Ryan Poling-Skutvik

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!

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.”

Congratulations Animesh Pan and Peter Ricci for receiving the 2023 Research and Scholarship Excellence Awards for postdoctoral and graduate student research!

The ChE Grad Seminar is off to a great start. On 9/14 Dr. Tejal Desai from Brown presented and tomorrow we welcome Dr. Michael Strano from MIT to our campus.

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! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

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 jobs.uri.edu/postings/12455

Congratulations Elnaz Nikoumanesh !

It was a pleasure to see my graduate student, Daniel Keane, give a seminar to our URI Chemical Engineering department yesterday discussing his work on polymer-linked emulsions, including their development, potential applications, and chemical optimizations!

Congratulations, Sophia!

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.
