Kayser Lab

For no particular reason… A quick reminder that the deadline to apply for the Fall 2025 PhD program at @udmseg is coming up 😉

While @ImChunYuanLo’s defense was on Zoom we had a fun celebration on his last day in the lab. You will be missed 🥺

Thank you to his thesis committee: @laure_kayser (advisor) @EmilHP_Chem @miltydcm and Lars Gundlach

Congratulations to Dr. Chun-Yuan Lo @ImChunYuanLo PhD #2 of the @LaureKayserLab !! We wish him the best at his new position at Formosa Plastics in Houston 🥳

Submitting a letter of intent for the 2025 #BYI program? Looking for support resources? We’ve got Mentor Office Hours to help you prepare your #LOI. Sign-up in the application portal – links provided under the instructions tab.

Can you paint electronic circuits? We say you can! The Kayser group had a blast yesterday being a part of STEAM Day. Students painted their own designs using PEDOT:PSS and got to see their circuits light up!

Happy birthday to @AllUs0n and @AiNinYang0329!! No better way to end group meeting than with some cake!

It's time to welcome first year @udmseg graduate student, Nilesh Patil (@NileshP82072633), to the Kayser lab!! Nilesh received his master's degree in polymer engineering and technology from the Institute of Chemical Technology. His current work focuses on porous mixed conductors!

Interested in postdoc/researchers excited by combination (with arbitrary weighting) of CS, EE, photophysics, neuro, & psychology to help prototype a Holodeck / Danger Room based on photophysical activation of peripheral neurons for haptic holography

Big congratulations are due in the Kayser Lab! Congrats to @peterosazuwa for being awarded the UD Doctoral Fellowship Award!! Another congratulations to @k_koutsoukos for passing his qualifying exam!! Way to go you two! @UDGradStudents @udmseg

Scenes from @ChemistryUD’s first annual cookie competition! Big thanks to Ariel Alperstein for the idea, and to our ACID DEI committee for making it happen! Congrats to @vidhika_damani @LaureKayserLab for best decorated cookie and @rccolandrea @MPWatsonLab @UDelCBI for best bake!

Happy Valentine’s Day from the Kayser Lab! #PEDOT

Congratulations @danmy_nguyen !! Catalyst-free photopatterning of #PEDOT:PSS hydrogels via one pot photocrosslinking and EDOT polymerization 👏

Happy birthday Kelsey @k_koutsoukos !! Great to have a delicious chocolate cake at group meeting this morning 😋

Congrats @peterosazuwa!! 🍾🥂🍾

@azghsh @k_koutsoukos Our lab specializes in its synthesis to be able to control molecular parameters (not disclosed in the commercial formulation) and modify it to get the properties we need for electronics applications.

@k_koutsoukos @LaureKayserLab Out of curiosity, why you did not buy it? It is commercially available sigmaaldrich.com/GB/en/product/…

Balancing all the hard work our group has been doing with some fall fun!
