Grieco Lab

Had a nice time at the 2026 #ACS Spring Meeting in Atlanta! It was fun sharing our research on conducting polymers and learning about the latest polymer doping research.

We are so excited to announce that Caitlyn has recently received an ACS Women Chemists Committee Emerging Talent Award! Congrats, Caitlyn!

Watch Dr. Grieco talk about science on #Twitch at the upcoming Ask_a_Scientist_Gaming stream on Wed, Feb 4 at 8 pm EST! twitch.tv/ask_a_scientis…

Curious how we measure movement of charge in organic electronics? Join us Wed (2/4), 8-11 pm EST for a live Q&A with Dr. Chris Grieco who will discuss ultrafast spectroscopy, photochemistry, polarons, and more while playing Pikmin. (@GriecoLab; @cosamau) griecolab.com

Good times at this year's lab group bowling! This year, we needed 2 lanes!

We had a blast last week at #DestinationSTEM teaching middle school students about spectroscopy instrumentation and the rock samples that we use in our research lab! @cosamoutreach

Watch a recent presentation by Dr. Grieco on our conducting polymer research at the 2025 SPIE Optics + Photonics meeting. spiedigitallibrary.org/conference-pro…

We are thrilled to announce that our paper on transient absorption spectroelectrochemistry of a mixed conducting polymer (#OMIEC) has been accepted for publication in @ChemicalScience! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

We are excited to announce that Ryan passed his PhD candidacy exam this past week! Congrats, Ryan!

We are digging deeper into our petroleum science research using rock samples we gathered from the Hartselle Sandstone in northwest Alabama! We had a great trip in the field with Chris Hooks of the Geological Survey of Alabama @AL_GeoSurvey.

Last week, we enjoyed sharing our research studies of conducting polymers with visiting high school students at @COSAMOutreach's Summer Science Institute at @AuburnU!

We are thrilled to begin building a new #ultrafastSpectroscopy instrument this summer to study mixed ionic electronic conducting polymers for #bioelectronics. We thank @EdmundOptics again for supporting our optics program and ultrafast education at @AuburnU.

On Tuesday, Caitlyn received a Malone-Zallen Fellowship, which will fund a new research area that she will be leading on diradicals. We also celebrated Rashid's Dow Graduate Fellowship that he received last May.

We are so proud of Rashid and Caitlyn for receiving two graduate student awards from Auburn's Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, which we recently celebrated. Congrats!

Advancing flexible electronics requires fundamental understanding of doping in conjugated polymers. This work examines limitations of conventional IR spectroscopy for probing their charge carriers. @GriecoLab Learn more 👇 aippub.org/4i7RrPv

The ACS Local Symposium at @ColumbusState yesterday was great! We enjoyed learning from and sharing our science with the local Chemistry community.

Much thanks to @EdmundOptics for supporting graduate and undergraduate optics and ultrafast education through this program

We are delighted to announce that @EdmundOptics selected our optics lab and @AuburnU as a Bronze Finalist of this year's Ultrafast Educational Award! We are also very honored to have been selected as this year's Norman Edmund Inspiration Award winner. edmundoptics.com/promotions/edu…

We are excited to announce that Caitlyn passed her PhD candidacy exam today! Congrats, Caitlyn!
