Sally Selected as NSF ENERGIZE Trainee

Congrats to Sally, who was selected to be a trainee in the NSF ENERGIZE program at BU! This opportunity will allow Sally to interface with engineers and data scientists across campus, facilitating the development of exciting new opportunities in electrocatalyst design and data-driven optimization of electrocatalytic systems. We are very proud of you, Sally!

Leyla Selected as 4th Annual J&J Graduate Research Symposium Scholar

Huge congrats to Leyla on receiving an invitation to present her paradigm-shifting science on modular ferrocene mediators for the 4th Annual Johnson & Johnson Graduate Research Symposium in Spring House, PA on June 3 - 5, 2026! We are so incredibly proud of you!

Dr. Siyuan Su Completes his Postdoc!

The group bid a bittersweet farewell to our founding postdoctoral scholar, Dr. Siyuan Su, as he completed his stay in our lab. Siyuan was critical in establishing the physical (both temporary and permanent!) lab space from October 2023, and we will miss him and his love for total synthesis, mechanisms, and cycloadditions! Thank you for all of your help, we are so proud of you!
