Congratulations to Dr. Ardak Makhatova for her successful defense and graduation. We wish her all the best in future endeavors!

Many congratulations to Ardak Makhatova for successfully defending her Ph.D. dissertation!

Dr. Mahatova defended on Apr. 8, and earned her degree based on her dissertation titled “Soil stabilization using polyelectrolytes and their complexes”.

 

 

Dr. Kartik Rajagopalan’s paper titled “Temperature- and Creep-Resistant Diels-Alder Salogels for Shape Stabilization of Salt Hydrate Phase Change Materials” was accepted for publication in the Journal of Materials Chemistry A. This work demonstrates the robustness of Diels-Alder crosslinks to provide creep-free mechanical stabilization of salt hydrate phase change materials with wide-ranging melting temperatures (room temperature to 90°C) for thermal energy storage applications.

Congratulations, Kartik!

Ph.D. student Jordan Brito passed her Ph.D. preliminary exam and is now a Ph.D. candidate.

Congratulations, Jordan!

Dr. Zhen Sang’s paper, “Supersonic puncture-healable and impact-resistant covalent adaptive networks,” has been published in Materials Today.

Congratulations, Zhen!

Dr. Aliaksei Aliakseyeu’s paper titled “Self-Diffusion of Star and Linear Polyelectrolytes in Salt-Free and Salt Solutions” was accepted for publication in Macromolecules.

Congratulations, Aliaksei!
