New paper alert! Shoutout to Alivia and Summer for their work on alkylcobalamin photochemistry, demonstrating solvent-dependent and light-mediated formation of Co(I) from vitamin B12 derivatives without need for external reductants. Check it out below: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Happy to see @Bidisha_93 hang up the artwork on our poster wall for her @J_A_C_S paper. 🔥 🖼️ Here’s the 🔗 to the paper in case you missed it: doi.org/10.1021/jacs.5…

Nail-biter CFP final but they pulled it off! Proud to be a member of the Hoosier Nation & a prime demonstration of the excellence we're all striving for. #Hoosiers #iufootball

@kek_kelsie While it looks rough now the amount of space looks amazing . Your space is going to be amazing. So fresh+clean.

Moved into my new office, and the lab space is coming along! #newPI

Awesome first SSRL beamtime for the group! dxp100 ftw

Michael and Hai demonstrate N-N coupling and NO reduction by a single iron center, facilitated by hydrogen bonding. A new way to make an Fe(IV)-oxo intermediate! And a big shoutout to our collaborators Katlyn and Kassidy. Read all about it here: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

The wildlife on campus @IUBChemistry is not shy at all.

Brand new EcoSEC GPC (@TosohBio) with LenS3 MALS detector getting installed this week! #newPI

Bloomington sky does not disappoint

We are hiring! This past year, our lab moved from Michigan to the University of British Columbia in Vancouver! If you are interested in grad studies in organic chemistry, particularly with an emphasis on new technologies, apply to the UBC graduate program by December 1st, 2025!

Very excited to finally share my PhD paper, about advancing #chloroplast #synbio through high-throughput plastome engineering of #Chlamydomonas. Huge thanks to the whole team! nature.com/articles/s4147…

The lab's first official beamtime is a wrap! Some great data were collected and interesting sushi-eating techniques revealed. Thanks to the staff Akhil Tayal & Jorge Moncada Vivas for all the help at 8-ID @BrookhavenLab

Congratulations to @dharithatsit for successfully passing her Ph.D. candidacy exam last week! Her work uses time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy and microscopy to uncover new insights into membrane biophysics.🔬 🧫

It is possible to develop open-shell, self-doped, and porous conjugated polyelectrolytes (2D CPEs) by combining the self-doping CPDTSO₃K₂ moiety with archetypal 2D subunits, namely triphenylamine and triphenyltriazine. Out in @ChemMater 🔥 🔗 : doi.org/10.1021/acs.ch…

Happy to see @oscmedrano1011 hang up his artwork on our poster wall for our @ChemMater paper. 🔥 🖼️ Here’s the 🔗 to the paper in case you missed it: doi.org/10.1021/acs.ch…

So thankful for @BeckmanFnd funding my postdoctoral research and featuring it online!

New tricks for old dogs! Check out our latest work on redox modulation and electronic structure in type 1 Cu & type 1 Cu-like systems @UTChemistry @J_A_C_S @Chloroethane pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Congrats, Josephine and the team!! Check out our newest mechanistic deep dive into R2lox: Isotope labeling and EPR spectroscopy reveal that this Mn/Fe enzyme activates C–H bonds to form a unique Tyr–Val crosslink via a Mn⁴⁺/Fe⁴⁺ intermediate. bit.ly/3Fkybjw

A day after #MothersDay, I am excited to announce that I have been promoted to Associate Professor with tenure @UMNChemistry. We did it despite (and with) these two monkeys and a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic. So thankful to my village and hope to pay it forward. I am so lucky!!!
