  • New paper in J. Org. Chem.

    We have a new paper out in J. Org. Chem.! In this work, Suma, Molly, and Gopi describe the behavior of a short o-phenylene with crown ethers appended to its ends. Suitable diammonium guests cause the oligomer to misfold.


  • Nirob Saha joins group

  • Yinhui Liao joins group

    Welcome to Yinhui Liao, who has joined the group as a graduate student! Yinhui comes to us from Peking University.


  • New paper in Macromolecules

    We have a new paper out in Macromolecules! This is a collaboration with the Konkolewicz group. In it, Obed and Chamoni investigate various and external effects on the mechanical properties of carbodiimide-induced polymer networks.


  • Corvo Tran and Jake Franklin join group

    Welcome to Corvo Tran and Jake Franklin, who have joined the group as undergraduate researchers!


  • New paper in J. Org. Chem.

    We have a new paper out in J. Org. Chem.! Isuru, Maddy, and Georgia examine structure–property effects on the carbodiimide-induced clamping of diphenic acids, important results as we look to incorporate these into more-complex systems.


  • Postdoctoral opening

    We have an opening for a postdoctoral researcher, who will work in both our group and the Konkolewicz group on nonequilibrium (“chemically fueled”) systems. Please apply through the Miami job posting.
