Ms. Jaquesta Adams won first  prize at the thirteenth annual Undergraduate Student Research Competition during  September28-30, 2018.  The competition was sponsored by Minority Access. Congrats Jaquesta!

Dr. Clayborne, in collaboration with Prof. Cummings, Prof. Bae, and Prof. Wei at Howard University; and Prof. Tao at Winston Salem State University received funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF).  The award (NSF1831559) is for research involving the development of protein sensors using theoretical and experimental techniques.

Welcome to Oluwatobi, Javoniel, Kourtney, and Adebola, new undergraduates in the Clayborne Research Group!

Welcome back Nia, this time as a Graduate Student to the Clayborne Research Group!

Jaquesta Adams received the Advancing Science Conference Grant (ACSG) to attend the National Organization of Black Chemists and Chemical Engineers (NOBCChE) in September. She will also present a poster about her research on ligated silicon nitride clusters at the conference. Congratulations!

The Laboratory for the Clayborne Group has relocated to the Chemistry Laser Building.  Prof. Clayborne has also moved to the Chemistry Laser Building.

Congrats to Andy Frojd (M.Sc. 2018) who will be starting a position at Cerner Corporation as a Configuration Analyst!

Professor Clayborne visited the Changchun Institute for Applied Chemistry (CIAC), Chinese Academy of Sciences in Changchun, China (Jilin Province). As part of the International Research Fellowship, he participated in Professor Chen’s Research group located at CIAC in the State Key Laboratory of Electroanalytical Chemistry.  For more information about CIAC please visit: http://english.ciac.cas.cn

 

The Clayborne group along with Prof. Karoliina Honkala (University of Jyväskylä) received a computer allocation for a project to study the reduction of nitric oxide. The international project was awarded ~2,000,000 bu on the supercomputer operated by the CSC-IT Center for Science in Finland.

Our paper on the electrochemical oxidation of formic acid (with Prof. Wei Chen) is now available in Nano Energy. Great job!  https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nanoen.2018.05.052
