Symone Alexander, Ph.D.

The Alexander Research Team circa 2022! Can’t believe we are only a year and a half in and can’t wait to share our exciting research journeys with you this Fall!

Registration is Now Open for PoWER! The Inaugural Polymer Women Empowerment & Research Conference *Registration spots are limited so register TODAY* For more information: polymerwomenempowermentresearch.com @JuliaKalow @jillalty @helen_chem @SymoneAlexander @saraorski

Another successful preliminary defense for the #ARTists! Excellent job Armin!!!

The reason I love this job! Extremely proud of Jada!

Jada Neal, a senior in bioprocess engineering, and one of 20 Auburn Engineering Undergraduate Research Fellows for 2023-24, has a passion for applying lessons learned in @SymoneAlexander's laboratory and turning them into potential skin care solutions. eng.auburn.edu/news/2024/02/s…

Registration is open for the inaugural PoWER conference! Join us July 11-12, 2024 at Northwestern to discuss cutting-edge polymer science being conducted by women and gender minorities. Registration will be capped at 150 attendees, so register early! polymerwomenempowermentresearch.com/apply/

Thanks, @ChemistryMIT! I'm grateful that @JuliaKalow shared this vision for how to amplify the voices of women & gender minorities in polymer science. @Po_W_E_R has been made possible w/ our wonderful team @helen_chem, @SymoneAlexander, @saraorski, & Katie Houston. Register now!

Thrilled to announce that we are now accepting project proposals from #frugalscience teams - supported by Experiment.com platform and Schmidt Futures. See details here experiment.com/grants/frugals… - Thanks @davidtlang for these resources.

Congratulations to @NOBCChE_OSU on an excellent symposium! We had the one and only @SymoneAlexander as our keynote speaker. Thank you to the E-broad and all our student speakers! @OSU_CBC @OhioStateCBE

It is always an honor to be selected by students to keynote a symposium! I can't wait to spend the two days with the OSU NOBCChE chapter and students and faculty at OSU!

Check out PoWER! The Inaugural Polymer Women Empowerment & Research Conference in 2024. @JuliaKalow @jillalty @helen_chem @SymoneAlexander @saraorski For more information: polymerwomenempowermentresearch.com

@Lola_UMich @profglotz @UMichChE Congratulations!!!!

The itsy, bitsy spider... helped identify biomechanical systems capable of withstanding large loads w/ sub-millisecond response times, and inspired new micromechanical systems and responsive actuators. Incredible work by @AuburnU's @SymoneAlexander eng.auburn.edu/news/2023/11/a…

@kmoharir @mtgchenref Thank you! That sounds like a cool concept!

@SymoneAlexander @mtgchenref Nice work. I tried to separate lignocellulosic material from waste flowers..... The yield was low.

Can you recover cellulose from restaurant food waste with no control over the menu or waste composition? We took the first step towards using real-world food waste to recover valuable biopolymers. Check out the open access manuscript here: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…. @mtgchenref

@zakarisCC @mtgchenref Thank you!

@SymoneAlexander @mtgchenref Nice work, food wastage is a big problem.

Our bioinspiration isn't limited to food - complex assemblies are everywhere! Excited to work with the Smithsonian @NMNH to uncover more fundamental physics, materials, & engineering concepts behind the slingshot spider's unique prey capture strategy.🕷 eng.auburn.edu/news/2023/11/a…

@Ewerpointe @mtgchenref Thanks Jessica!!!

@SymoneAlexander @mtgchenref Woo! Way to go, Symone and crew!

@shani888 @mtgchenref Thank you!

@SymoneAlexander @mtgchenref Great work

@DrBoyd_Chemist Thank you Darryl!!!

Excellent work Professor Alexander!

@Lola_UMich Thank you for sharing Lola!!! It was great to see you at AIChE!
