Was a fun and a relaxing outing with the group on a wonderfully sunny evening at the Halfmoon lake. Thanks Bryan for rallying the group and organizing the event.

Presentations at ECS (Summer 2021)

5/31/2021

 
Our group gave two talks at the 239th Electrochemical Society Meeting (Summer 2021), which was a virtual event this year.
  1. Rohini gave an invited talk titled: "Multiscale Evaluation of Light Absorption, Transport and Kinetics in  Z-Scheme Photocatalytic Reactors for Solar Hydrogen Production". Thanks to the organizers for inviting!
  2. Luisa also gave a contributed talk titled "Effects of Effluent Stream Composition and Competing Reactions Effect on Wastewater Nitrate Reduction in a Photoelectrochemical Device" 

Luisa 's Dissertation  Proposal Exam

5/21/2021

 
Luisa did an excellent job in presenting her past, ongoing and future research work for her dissertation committee today. Great work so far and lots of interesting work to look forward to. Keep it up, Luisa! 

Xingze wins Best Poster

Artwork from our recently published paper on wastewater nitrates transformation to value-added products was selected as front cover in ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering (vol. 9, issue 10). Special thanks to Jeff Knudsen and Hillary Robinson from the Michigan creative team and the College of Eng. (COE) grants team -- Joanne Navarre and Richard Vanden Heuvel

Seminar at UC Irvine

3/12/2021

 
Thanks to Iryna Zenyuk for inviting me and giving me an opportunity to give a departmental seminar at the Dept. of Chemical Engineering at the University of California, Irvine. I really enjoyed meeting and talking to faculty and students in the department. 

Rohini invited to attend 2020 US FOE Symposium

2/25/2021

 
Rohini attended the 2020, US Frontiers of Engineering Symposium, organized by the National Academy of Engineering. Too bad this event wasn't in-person, but the virtual experience was stellar via e-poster boards. Great speakers, good collection of session topics, and engaged breakout sessions with fellow participants made it a wonderful event all around.

Our lab is thrilled to be funded on 2 projects through the Carbon Neutrality Acceleration Program managed by the Graham Sustainability Institute at the University of Michigan. We look forward to working with all our collaborators on the respective projects
  1. ​Thermal energy storage for deep decarbonization, specifically focusing on buildings and industrial process heat applications. Team: Rohini Bala Chandran (PI), Michael Craig and Donald Siegel
  2. Integrated capture and conversion of CO2 to liquid fuels in a solar device. Team: Suljo Linic (PI), Rohini Bala Chandran, Bryan Goldsmith, Nirala Singh, and Charles McCrory

Paper Published
