I’m happy to share my latest work, out now in @ChemicalScience! In “Exceeding Flexpectations,” we used a combined exp/comp approach to characterize flexibility in 3D linker MOFs and used these systems to distinguish between 2 key classes of flexibility. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

At 11:00 am- Omar Farha celebrates 75 years of @NSF! #NUChemistry at #acsfall2025

Tuesday at #ACSFall2025: Celebrating the #humanrights work of @ZafraLerman

🚨 Happening this afternoon! 🚨 Not 1️⃣ but 4️⃣@NUChemistry faculty are speaking at the Inorganic Nanoscience Award Symposium honoring Omar Farha. They’ll be joined by brilliant colleagues from @uclachem @CUBoulderche, @URochesterChem, and @UofSC_Chem #acsfall2025

NU Chemistry Research Impact: The Farha Group is using #MOFs to neutralize chemical threats—from protecting first responders to capturing carbon. This is #chemistry at work for a safer, cleaner future. @Farhomies #ScienceThatMatters #NUChemImpact bit.ly/FarhaGroupImpa…

@Andrew_S_Rosen @ChemicalScience Thanks Andrew!

@courtsmoljan @ChemicalScience I happened to stumble upon your MIL-88 paper yesterday! Really great work!!

It was also a great experience to go to the @advancedphoton to complete the experimental portion of this work. Thank you to the beamline scientists for the support!

Thank you to all my coauthors, especially @FormalikFilip who provided great mentorship while I was learning DFT. @RandallSnurr @OmarFarhaonFire @Farhomies @HaomiaoXie @kirafahy @FlorenciaSon

@RandallSnurr @ACSCatalysis @XijunWang1 Love the TOC @XijunWang1, congrats!

In this new paper in @ACSCatalysis, @XijunWang1 tackles some of the challenges in modeling supported amorphous metal oxide nanoclusters for methane activation. pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.102…

Happy thanksgiving from the MOFia!🦃 We are thankful for another great year of research and collaborations!

@KaihangS @acsprf Well deserved! Congrats Kaihang!

Excited and grateful to receive the ACS PRF Doctoral New Investigator award from @acsprf! This award will support my group to investigate molecular traffic in complex pore networks using high-throughput simulations and machine learning. cen.acs.org/acs-news/Fall-…

Graduate student @courtsmoljan also gave a talk on tuning MOFs toward sub-angstrom separations using 3D linkers!

Graduate student Courtney and chemical engineering undergraduate Zahra!

We had a great time celebrating our summer undergraduate researcher’s work yesterday! Complete with posters, liquid N2 ice cream, and cornhole! Thank you to our students and mentors for such a successful summer. Check out our mentor/mentee pairs below: @IINanoNU @NUChemistry

If you are at @9thMOF2024, come check out my poster this evening! B1.165!
