Luca Research @ CU

CU Boulder chemist Oana Luca (@lucascience1) gives her take on how carbon-dependent sectors, such as chemical manufacture and long-haul transportation, can reduce emissions. via @cuengineering bit.ly/4bWM1UC #CUBoulder #Climate

Delighted to announce CU Boulder's newest PhD: Dr. Petersen!!! Here she is teaching us about electrochemical carbon capture! @CUBoulderCHEM

@ENERGY @PNNLab @ORNL @SLAClab @ANLcatalysis @argonne @AmesNatLab @FMTLabs @BerkeleyLab @BrookhavenLab @UCBerkeley @IowaStateU A considerable collaborative effort brought together this discussion of how the US can meet net-zero CO2 emission targets despite some sectors being difficult to electrify or continuing to need carbon.

Thanks Miguel and NYU Tandon team for the invite to talk, for the excellent conversations and for some of the most productive exchanges ever.

A US perspective on closing the carbon cycle to defossilize difficult-to-electrify segments of our economy 🔓 Free to read for this month🔓 nature.com/articles/s4157… A new Roadmap from Wendy Shaw, Michelle Kidder and coworkers, based on a workshop from @ENERGY labs at @PNNLab

@GustafsonLab @SDSUChemBiochem Jeff! Congratulations on your new adventure!

In some exciting, but also bittersweet news, the group will be relocating to the Stony Brook University Chemistry department over the summer. I am looking forward to the future, but will miss all of the amazing colleagues and friends at @SDSUChemBiochem

In a future without waste, carbon will be a precious commodity - electrified to be part of this conversation along with researchers from seven DOE National Labs @CUBoulderCHEM @RASEI_CU nature.com/articles/s4157…

What an extraordinary time visiting with @Temple - a special treat to get to see @annvalentine again and get to see the science in the department. Everything was so fun I forgot to take more pictures.

@prashungorai @rpi @RPI_CBE @NREL @coschoolofmines @ChBEIllinois Congratulations 🎉🥳🎉!!

I'm moving to @rpi in upstate New York in Spring 2025. I'll join as an Assistant Professor in CBE @RPI_CBE. Particularly excited about the @rpi initiatives in microelectronics & quantum computing. Grateful to my mentors & colleagues at @NREL @coschoolofmines @ChBEIllinois!

What an incredible seminar visit to UTSA Chem! First ever student invited seminar was unreal: excellent science, fabulous people and pretty nice weather to boot!

Excited to share that our very own Hunter Koltunski is the latest PhD candidate of Boulder Chem!!! Congratulations on passing your oral exam! Excited for a few more years of awesome science and excellent punnery! @hurtleturtle228 @CUBoulderCHEM

@prashungorai Immensely cool.

Welcome to the mothership! Fun fact: the UN Kyoto Protocol was signed at this conference center. Inside, it has a retro apocalyptic feel, which I guess was an appropriate setting for the signing of the Kyoto Protocol

Check out the latest paper on redox-enabled dehalogenation Chemistry! Led by the Marder Team and Steve Barlow! Congratulations everyone! @RASEI_CU @CUBoulderCHEM beilstein-journals.org/bjoc/articles/…

@Andrea_HicksPhD Yep.

Anyone found this semester more exhausting than usual? It feels like the students are struggling in different ways with small things, like reading the directions to assignments, more than I think I’ve seen in the past. Anyone else seeing this?

Excited to welcome 1st year student Quinn Brink to our team! Can't wait to see what amazing science we get to do in the coming years!

@JPdaCheerleader @ACSMatLett What rockstars!!!! Big congratulations to Mike and the team!

We are proud of our own Mike Stodolka, spearheading quite a new direction in our lab with his recent work published online today @ACSMatLett. Congratulations, Mike! 👏pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

What an honor to have our work on carbon capture featured in CU Boulder Today! @CUBoulderCHEM @RASEI_CU

Only two weeks left to apply to our graduate program at @CUBoulderCHEM! colorado.edu/chemistry/grad…

The final meeting of #Scialog: Negative Emissions Science, cosponsored by RCSA and @sloanfoundation, with support from @ClimateWorks, comes to a close today. Thanks to all who helped make this initiative a success!

Old friends and new are gathering for the 4th & final meeting of #Scialog: Negative Emissions Science, cosponsored by RCSA and @SloanFoundation, with additional support from @ClimateWorks. Welcome to Tucson!
