Events & Posts
10/18/24 Two great collaborative efforts come to fruition for the Rose group! Working with the Hull group, Rose group alumnus Sean Goralski uses EPR spectroscopy to aid in the report of new mechanistic insights in one-pot Cu-catalyzed ATRA reactions. Meanwhile, current student Gabriella Ruiz uses MicroED to study EP-PDI microcrystalline polymorphs , supporting the Roberts’ group conclusion that minor changes in crystal structure allow for triplet yield optimization. These different projects exemplify the power of interdisciplinary science!
8/24/24 Summer group outing time! We like to find interesting spots around Austin for group events, and this time we went to Cidercade! This is a really cool arcade/ cider bar with cool games and great flavors. See if you can find Evey Rose in the photo – she was feeling a little shy
8/8/24 The 2nd Gerischer Electrochemistry Today symposium was a great success! This conference was a great place to gain a deep understanding of the state of the art in the PEC/Solar Fuels field. The Rose group made a strong showing, but Claire stole the show with her fantastic ten minute talk discussing EIS! For more details, see her paper below 😉
7/8/24 Claire’s hard work comes to fruition! An in-depth perspective on how the Rose group has been using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy to study densities of states on our silicon wafers. This paper also brings germanium chemistry to our group, with the icing on the cake being the DOS features that can be seen in the germanium band structure! An all-around great study in JACS.
5/17/24 Alec pushes forward Jordan’s work on flexible ligand scaffolds with an in depth study of selenanthrene and its oxides, using VT NMR and nice computations to aid in comparison in a nice study in Inorganic Chemistry.
5/10/24 Another year, another set of goodbyes to a great crop of senior undergraduate students, now Longhorn alumni. Cayden Jasek is headed to UIUC for Chemistry PhD program in the fall. Evalyn Wilber will remain a familiar face on UT campus! She will begin the Materials Science PhD program in the fall. Josselyn De Leon will become a Texas A&M Aggie in the fall in their Chemistry PhD program. And Brett Boyle is headed off to Golden, CO for a position at NREL (and to explore the beautiful outdoors and climbing). Zoie Craven is headed into industry, with a promising career ahead. We are so proud of our graduates. They have been a great group of young scientists, and we are all very excited to see what comes next! Below is Dr Rose congratulating them on the receipt of the undergraduate ‘Welch Medal’ that all BS Chemistry majors receive in the Department ceremony.
