CalabreseLab

We're #umnproud of the six CSE faculty members who are among 12 recipients of the 2024 McKnight Land-Grant Professorship, an award given to early-career faculty who have the potential to make big impacts in their fields. Learn more z.umn.edu/McKnightLandGr…

Ben's new paper on the properties of microbeads produced from cellulose and lignin is out now in Cellulose - congratulations! link.springer.com/article/10.100… #sustainable #biomass #processing

Congratulations to Dr. Patrick McCauley on defending his thesis! As one of Prof. Calabrese's 1st class of students, Patrick has been a mentor to many of us, and we can't wait to see what he'll do next as he heads to Delaware to join @cfromen as a postdoc.

Congratulations to our senior undergrads Jerry and Michelle who are both graduating this week! Jerry will be starting a new job at Ecolab and Michelle will be starting her ChemE Ph.D. at Stanford. We're very proud of both of them and we will miss them very much!

Congrats to our newest Ph.D. candidate Deepti for passing her qualifying exams this week!

Congrats to Ben on receiving the Doctoral Dissertation Fellowship (DDF), which gives the University's most accomplished Ph.D. candidates an opportunity to devote full-time effort to finalize their research and write a dissertation during the fellowship year!

When #UMN chemical engineering and materials science senior Michelle Quan graduates in May, she’ll have a legacy to look back on, from nanoparticle synthesis research to DEI advocacy. Check out our Q&A with her below ⬇️ #UMNProud cse.umn.edu/college/news/c…

Congrats to the 2023 PMSE Early Career Investigator Award recipients. #Polymer #researchers #RisingStars @AmerChemSociety

And in more good news, Joanna's new paper in @ACS_Langmuir is out, using reverse poloxamers to alter gelation temperatures and moduli of P407 hydrogels! pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10… #drugdelivery #poloxamers #scattering

Patrick's new paper on the transient behavior of high elasticity wormlike micelles is out now in @JoRheology! Congratulations! sor.scitation.org/doi/10.1122/8.… #selfassembly #particletracking #rheology

For our SPSE Seminar Series, we are excited to host Dr. Michelle Calabrese @CalabreseLab from the Dept. of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science at the University of Minnesota!

Congratulations to Prof. Calabrese for winning the UKPPG/DPOLY Polymer Lecture Exchange! She will represent @APS_DPOLY by giving an invited lecture at the 2024 UK Polymer Physics Group Physical Aspects of Polymer Science Meeting in Edinburgh, Scotland. engage.aps.org/dpoly/honors/p…

A big moment for our group - our first Ph.D graduate, Dr. Kathleen Lauser, defended her thesis on Friday! Kathleen has been a leader and role model to us, pushing the boundaries of rheology, and we are incredibly proud and excited to see what she accomplishes next. Congrats!

Chris and Grace's paper on mechanisms by which nanoparticles and magnetic fields influence thermoresponsive polymer transitions, is now published in the Journal of Vinyl and Additive Technologies @4SPE_Plastics! …epublications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/vn… #openaccess #nanoparticles

Thank you for hosting me for seminar series @UMNews Dept Chemical Eng and Mat Science @CalabreseLab. Great department visit and enjoyed students and learning about 100 years of its history! Plus snow storm! @APEPuci @CBEUCI1

Fun for the whole family! (Pictured, Kathleen's second cousin learning about polysorbate excipients)

Kathleen's, Amy's, and Prof. Calabrese's paper on the impact of polysorbate excipients on extensional flow of protein solutions is out now in AIChE Journal - congratulations! #proteins #rheology #excipients aiche.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ai…

Michelle Calabrese @CalabreseLab, from @UMNCSE @UMNews @UMNresearch will be speaking at the Polymer Fundamentals and Properties symposium at PPC17. Read more: ppc17.com.au/invited-speake… #Brisbane #polymer #technologist #polymerference #pacificpolymerfederation #PPC17 #conference

We are very proud of Michelle Q for being selected to present at the Future Leaders in Chemical Engineering Symposium at NC State @ncstatecbe! With leaders like her, the future is bright ❤
