Congratulations, Rahul Giri, on being awarded the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) PostDoc mobility fellowship!

Our postdoc Rahul Giri (@grahul360) has been awarded the SNSF Postdoc.Mobility 2025, supporting his 2-year research at The Ohio State University. He joined us after his PhD with Prof. D. Katayev (@KatayevL) University of Bern. Excited for the chemistry ahead! @snsf_ch @OSU_CBC

THE OHIO STATE IS WHO. 🚨 The Buckeyes win their first Penn Relays wheel in the 4x100m since 1932 (Before they had Jesse Owens). They run 39.56 in cool conditions as both South Florida and Clemson DNF. Watch the #PennRelays LIVE on FloTrack with coverage presented by @On

Zhang lab kicked off the summer with our first volleyball game, clearly just a “warm-up” round. The first-years somehow snagged the win… beginner’s luck is strong this season 😄 Ready for the rematch!

Congratulations, Carly Kern, on receiving an NSF GRFP Honorable Mention!

Congratulations to our undergraduate Niya (@NiyatiPatell10) on winning a Poster Prize at the Devon W. Meek Lecture. Wishing her continued success! @osuresearch @OSU_CBC

Check out our @J_A_C_S ! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja… Mechanistic Continuum from Stepwise to Concerted PCET at a Synthetic Tricopper Cluster. Congrats to @Saikat_0602 @Myersprestonj @emily12345doss and Dr. Weiyao. We thank @NSF @OSU_CBC @osuresearch for the constant support.

All-girl squad stepped up to represent the Zhang Lab at Focus Symposium 2026!! Ashleigh, Margret, Abbi, and Niyati presented their research today.

Congratulations, Shiyu, on receiving the 2025-26 ASC Mid-Career Excellence Award!

Congratulations to Joshua et al. on this exciting new work demonstrating site-selective C(sp³)–H ¹⁸F-fluorination via complementary Cu(III) hydroxide and Cu(III) fluoride reactivity. (Chem. Sci. 2026) 📌 doi.org/10.1039/D5SC06…

Claudia Turro was awarded the 2026 Josef Michl ACS Award in Photochemistry! More info in 🧵

Please RT!🙏 We’re hiring a postdoc! Join us to work on metal-free energy storage: (1) ML-driven design of organic electrodes (2) Metal–NOx batteries Check out our group website for related work. research.cbc.osu.edu/zhang.8941/pub… Interested? Email Shiyu with your CV + research summary!

"Our new paper in Advanced Materials! Li–NOx cell hitting 3.8 V ⚡️ Congrats to Dr. (now Prof.) Jay Park on this milestone! advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad… @advancematerial @OSU_CBC

Cu-promoted C–H amination using NH₃! Now out in @J_A_C_S . Huge congratulations to Max @OSU_CBC ! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Congratulations to Dr. Maxwell Reese for the successful defense of his thesis on Cu-mediated C-N bond formation. He is invaluable to our lab and we are very proud of all he has accomplished!

The Zhang lab went 5/5 this spring with second-years Abbi, Andrew, and Emily passing candidacy and first-years Ashleigh and Jackson passing first-year orals. We are so proud of all they have accomplished and can’t wait to see what the future holds!

This week at group meeting, we celebrated in true Zhang lab fashion: cake at 9 am. Happy birthday Shiyu!

Recently, Emily (2nd year), Margaret (4th year), Jeff (3rd year), and Ashleigh (1st year) shared their research at the 2025 Annual FOCUS Symposium at OSU. We had a great time learning about our peers’ work, attending workshops, and attending a Q&A panel led by women in chemistry!
