Greeley Group

Congratulations to alumni Kaustubh(@Kaustubh_Savant) for publishing his new paper in collaboration with the Miller group (@PurdueCatalysis) on tuning surface chemistry of metal surfaces using zinc oxy(hydroxy) films in @ChemCatalysis!

A fun evening with current members, alumni, and associated students @aiche_cre meeting last week

Yu-Hsiang will present a talk on first principles analysis of coke formation on Pt-based catalysts for propane dehydrogenation (Tuesday 29th October 1:42-2:00 PM Room 28 D)

Four Greeley group graduate students will be presenting talks this AIChE (@ChEnected). Feel free to stop by to learn about the latest research in the group. Details below :

Durvesh (@durvesh8p) will present a talk on first principles study of electrocatalytic propane dehydrogenation to propylene (Thursday 31st October 1:06-1:24 PM Room 29 B)

Zuhal (@zuhal_cakir) will present a talk on canonical phase diagrams for disordered CoMo Alloys (Wednesday 30th October 9:30-9:48 AM Room 28 B)

Anik (@anik_biswas_) will present a talk on exploring surface structures of Pt3-Mn alloys ( Monday 28th October 5:36-5:54 pm Room 28D)

Congratulations to Gaurav (@ChemAndCode ) and Pushkar (@mepgg) for publishing their work on first-principles analysis of binary alloy catalyst stability! This study has been published in @JPhysChem in a special issue in honor of Jens Norskov. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

We recently celebrated Gaurav's (@ChemAndCode ) successful PhD defense at the Greeley Group favorite Bru Burger. We wish him all the best as he embarks his postdoc journey @NorthwesternU!

Congratulations to Dr. Ankita Morankar (@Ankita_Morankar) on her successful thesis defense. We wish her the best of luck as she departs for her next adventure!

Congratulations to Ankita (@Ankita_Morankar) for publishing her recent work on studying H2O2-induced overoxidation of single-atom Fe-N-C catalysts and its implications on ORR activity in @ChemPhysChem. This work is in collaboration with Prof. Plamen Atanassov (@AtanassovPlamen).

This work is the result of a collaboration with the Kevrekidis group at Johns Hopkins University. Also, thanks to Pushkar (@mepgg) and Siddharth (@Sidd_Deshp) for their valuable contributions.

Congrats to Gaurav (@ChemAndCode), Noah, and Nikolaos for their recent work on developing an active learning workflow to predict formation free energies of ternary alloys using a dropout graph neural network in NPJ computational materials (@Nature_NPJ). nature.com/articles/s4152…

This work is in collaboration with the Miller group at @PurdueCatalysis and Brookhaven National Lab.

Congrats to David Dean and Gaurav Deshmukh (@ChemAndCode) for their recent article in @CatalysisSciTec on studying the size-dependence of the electronic structure of Pt nanoparticles using Valence-to-Core X-ray Emission Spectroscopy. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

We recently celebrated Purva (@purva_paranjape) and Luke's (@LukePretzie) success in the PhD prelim exam over a hearty Italian meal in Lafayette. Among other things, they can now refer to themselves as PhD candidates in their email signatures.

A press release by @PurdueChemE in which the authors discuss the impact of this work on electrocatalysis research: engineering.purdue.edu/ChE/news/2024/…

Thrilled to share recent work by Dr. Zhenhua Zeng in collaboration with groups from Hunan University, Leiden University, and Clarkson University on determining site-specific reactivity of stepped Pt surfaces that is driven by stress release: nature.com/articles/s4158…

We recently bid farewell to @Kaustubh_Savant over a hearty group dinner. We wish him luck in all future endeavors! This also provided us with an opportunity to welcome and introduce new members, Brady, Masa, and Dhruv, to the group.

Congratulations to Kaustubh (@Kaustubh_Savant) for publishing his recent work on visualizing the disproportionation chemistry in K2PtCl4 using scanning transmission electron microscopy in @ScienceAdvances. science.org/doi/full/10.11…
