Dr. Heinecke was selected to give a research talk to a national audience at the ACS meeting in New Orleans this March. She spoke on the "Role of alkali metal counterions on size of para-mercaptobenzoic acid capped gold clusters." Co-authors include Loyola students Elysse June, Elisse Ward-Dones, Noor F. Cheema, and Sarah G. McMahon. Congratulations, Dr. Heinecke!
At the annual meeting of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences, Dr. Duggar was named to the Editorial Board of the Journal of Forensic Science. The position is a five-year term. Congratulations!
The American Chemical Society's Spring meeting is being hosted in New Orleans this year, which provides an unparalleled opportunity for students to interact with thousands of chemistry professionals to network and share ideas. This year, LoyNO Chemistry is represented by 11 different student presentations in seven different research laboratories!
Dr. Qian Qin was awarded a Louisiana Board of Regents Research and Development grant of over $120,000 to study new organic superconducting materials from sulfur-rich aromatic molecules. This funding will support Dr. Qin’s productive undergraduate research program. Congratulations!
