I am so honored to be selected by the ACS PMSE Division (ACS PMSE Division) as one of the 2024 Future Faculty Scholars! Looks like I will be in great company with #AOBpostdocs Jill W. Alty and Dr. Tracy Schloemer, also excited to meet many new faces. Thanks Bekka Klausen for my nomination. 🙂

Congrats to Jiancheng, Xin-Feng and Chaopeng Hu! Nice to see our latest work on isolation of a base-ligated phosphagermylenylidene online J. Am. Chem. Soc. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Hanging out on the Medical School campus today for the Johns Hopkins Postdoctoral Association (JHPDA) Postdoctoral Conference! Enjoyed getting to share a poster of my research on polyoligosilanes from the Klausen Group/MONET-CCI!

Congrats to Amelia Reid on an outstanding defense in the Rotunda! A great victory lap and celebration of excellent Chemistry.

Dr. Herb!! So proud of you! Working with you since 2022 has been such a great experience. Looking forward to where you go next!

Happy to see this online! Enjoyed putting this one together with Kim Hollister and Robert J. Gilliard, Jr.! Check out Scheme 2 for a nice summary of most of my PhD work!

Check out our latest paper out in J. Am. Chem. Soc. on how axial ligation impedes PCET reactivity of a synthetic Compound-I analogue. Excellent work Jithin Thomas_JT, and a great collaboration with Ivana Ivanovic-Burmazovic and Sam P. de Visser!

In honor of #EarthWeek , we’re posting several short “Chemsplainers” on the challenges of sustainability, including this Q&A with @Stache_Lab’s Erin Stache, “Why is it so difficult to recycle plastics?”

Enjoy Erin’s take on this important question: bit.ly/3QgqwoO. .
