@niu_group @NatureComms Glad to see this out in print. Congratulations on this very cool work!!

Biological machineries can make very long biopolymers. Can chemist learn from them? Writing in @NatureComms, we took the bioinspired approach and embedded an Ru catalyst in #MOF to achieve highly processive polymerization. #NSFfunded nature.com/articles/s4146…

Threading Polymers—Blends of polymers with microporous particles are crucial for many modern technologies, but quantifying and controlling the threading of polymers is challenging. In their recent work reported in @J_A_C_S, Kaur, DelRe, et al. propose two new strategies. One strategy utilizes NMR to directly monitor polymer chains and quantify their diffusivities. The second strategy shows that threading rates can be adjusted across at least six orders of magnitude. Read the full article: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Thrilled to share our latest research published in JACS - my first postdoctoral project! Grateful to have collaborated with such an amazing team on this work!

Simple Strategies to Quantify and Control Polymer Threading into Micropores | Journal of the American Chemical Society pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

My group's first paper is now published! We show how to quantify and control polymer threading into sub-2 nm micropores using simple strategies. We anticipate that these results will be impactful for a wide variety of applied and fundamental directions. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

I just won an Early Career Program award from the US Army to fund one of my projects! We’ve now raised over $2mil in external funding in the 2 years since opening my lab. We’re excited to use this money to produce great new materials for both military and civilian applications!

So excited for this award and lucky to have an amazing group that made this possible. Our first papers will be coming out early in 2025! 💪

@ladderchem Congrats, this is super cool!

In honor of Women’s History Month: the talented scientists in our group!

Thrilled to announce the upcoming Bio-Inspired Green (BIG) Science & Technology Symposium co-organized with Rein Ulijn and @Chris__DelRe! Speakers include @karen_wooley, Sam Stupp and more. Join us in NYC April 18-19! rb.gy/8m94zs

@terterserter @PolymChem Congrats!!

Well I’m glad to say that my last piece of Ph.D. work is published as the front cover for the current issue of @PolymChem. Thank you for the opportunity! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

We're looking for a new assistant professor to join our Structural Biology team at the CUNY Advanced Science Research Center @asrc_gc! info here: academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/25938 (1/n)

@aet_ice Thank you Agnes!! These were some of the first experiments I ever ran with Jarad so it’s cool to see it finally in print 😊

@Chris__DelRe Congratulations Chris and team!!! So great to see this work out🥳🎉

One of our papers from my postdoc tenure is now available at JACS! We show important results to design "porous water," but I am particularly excited about the ramifications for understanding how polymers thread into micropores. Stay tuned! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

@iChoy8 I think that’s what I said when you first told me your theory of “winning the interaction.”

Bro really said “the way your brain works is interesting” like I’m some lab specimen 😭😭

Whenever I see my brother, he lets me tell him my current mental state judgement free and this time around he said all he could think about was this 30 rock clip ☹️☹️☹️

Congratulations to my first two PhD students—Lakshika Malwana and Kenny Barriales—for winning this prestigious fellowship! Great start to their scientific careers.
