Congratulations to Devin, who received a CEI graduate fellowship! This fellowship funds exceptional researchers from departments across UW to apply their talents to clean energy research projects, participate in outreach activities, and develop professional skills.

Congratulations to Leo Zasada, who was recently recognized by a 2023 CEI student award for Outreach and Service! This award recognizes his leadership in organizing a new clean energy outreach program geared towards older adult audiences at local senior and community centers. Check out the article here.

Congrats to Ashe on their paper highlighting how simple solvent-driven changes to geometry modulate a host of multifunctional properties in 1D iron chains! Check it out here in Chemical Science!

New year, new students! We are excited to welcome first year graduate students Adrian Guerrero and Fubin (Sophie) Song, third year graduate student Douglas Baumgardner, as well as undergraduate Kamaya Ronning. Welcome to the group!

Many congratulations to Jonathan and Audrey for receiving Mary Gates Research Scholarships, which will support their research activities over the next two quarters!

Congrats to our undergraduate, EJ Brannan, for being awarded a Washington Research Foundation fellowship! This competitive fellowship supports advanced undergraduate researchers working on creative and sophisticated research projects under the guidance of UW faculty.

Congrats to Devin and Jack on their co-authored paper showing how chemical crosslinking can prevent pore collapse in flexible frameworks! Their article will be highlighted in ChemComm’s Emerging Investigators Collection. Check it out here!

The lab has been awarded a Packard Foundation fellowship! These funds will be used to support the lab’s work on conductive porous materials and sustainable catalysis. Check out the official Packard announcement and the UW News article!

We are looking to hire postdoc(s) to bring new expertise into the group! We are particularly interested in candidates with a background in either 1) organic electronics, 2) electrochemistry, or 3) organic synthesis/catalysis. Please send CV, cover letter, and two references to djxiao@uw.edu. 

Kathleen’s paper on controlling the morphology of Cu₃(HHTP)₂ is out now in Chemical Science! Many congratulations to Kathleen! Click here to check it out!
