Description:

National Organization for the Professional Advancement of Black Chemists and Chemical Engineers is dedicated to assisting black and other minority students and professionals in fully realizing their potential in academic, professional, and entrepreneurial pursuits Dr. Federico Rabuffetti has recently been selected to receive a Wayne State University Academy of Scholars Junior Faculty Award. This award from the Academy recognizes young scholars of outstanding promise. Brooke Corbin earns Ruth L. Kirchstein Predoctoral Individual National Research Service AwardThis NIH (National Institutes of Health) Fellowship will support Brooke's dissertation research on europium containing contrast agents for redox-responsive MRI. This funding will allow the laboratory to explore the synthesis and properties of new chemical precursors to allow the growth of electropositive metal thin films by thermal atomic layer deposition (ALD). Dr. Chekmenev received an National Institutes of Health (NIH) R21 grant to develop highly magnetized diethyl ether gas. Hyperpolarized diethyl ether can be employed for sub-second gas pulmonary MRI, which is envisioned as a novel inhalable contrast agent Bailey McCarthy Riley selected as a student for National Science Policy Network (NSPN) Scholar's Program A small cohort of early career scientists and engineers will learn essential skills to succeed in applying technical skills to diverse policy contexts. Congratulations Bailey! Tepora Su’a, Karunamuni Silva, Abigail Cousino, Thranga Batugedara, Isuri Weeraratne, Samudra Amunugama, and Fredricka Morgan! Their symposium: “Pushing the Boundaries: Women Scientists Catalyzing Change” has been selected for a National ACS Meeting The award of $980,000 will fund the acquisition of a new high-resolution electron microscope that will enable multidisciplinary materials research, education and outreach by training students in modern microscopy. Li Research Group to receive a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) for the proposal: "Probing Multi-Electron Dynamics with Absolute Carrier-Envelope-Phase (CEP) Dependent Strong Field Interaction." Regina has been awarded a Michigan Space Grant Consortium (MSGC) Fellowship for her proposal titled: "Synthesis and Characterization of Bimetallic Fluoroacetates as Luminescent Thermometers." As the rest of Wayne State University prepares for the fall semester, researchers are already back to work on campus. Labs reopened the week of June 8. All researchers underwent Be Warrior Safe training prior to their return and are required to complete a daily screener. Wayne State chemists, pharmacists team up to make hand sanitizer for COVID-19 front lineGibson Kirui and Joseph Wakpalto were among other graduate chemistry students who volunteered to make hand sanitizer. Faculty from the Eugene Applebaum College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences tutored the students on formulation and FDA procedures. Dr. Charlie Fehl is the recipient of the Darrell Ebbing, Ph. D. Endowed Faculty Development Award. The Fehl Lab will use the award to control cellular metabolic processes using light with "Photo-Sugars." The Linz Lab at Wayne State University Chemistry has been awarded a grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to develop a microfluidic platform for characterizing protein structure. Dr. Zhenfei Liu is the recipient of a Wayne State University Research Grant for his project "First-Principles Calculation of Transport Properties of Charged Species in Molecular Junctions". Congratulations! The Chair's Award of Excellence, a $5,000 award provided to exceptional students in their first semester of study as a Chemistry graduate student. Students eligible* for this award will receive the $5,000 award on top of a generous stipend, tuition and health benefits. Liu lab earns research grant from the American Chemical Society Petroleum Research Fund (ACS PRF) for the project: "First-principles computational study and design of metal-organic frameworks for separation of small hydrocarbons" Wayne State University Department of Chemistry Mission Statement:The Department of Chemistry at Wayne State University is dedicated to research, education, and outreach efforts that benefit Detroit, the State of Michigan, and the world. We are committed to advancing chemical knowledge, educating a diverse undergraduate and graduate student body, and positively impacting society. We actively promote a safe and ethical environment that is equitable and inclusive, so that students, staff, and faculty may thrive and advance personally and professionally, within Wayne State University and beyond.
