Excited to introduce the newest SERIS cohort to Stanford Engineering later this month! The time to diversify engineering academia is now. At SERIO & SERIS, we believe we can do this by training underrepresented students early in their college careers!

Credit to Manchen Hu, Junrui Lyu, Natalia Murrietta, with strong support from Sebastian Fernández, Will Michaels, Twitterless Qi, and Pournima Narayanan for this exciting work! Again, paper here: doi.org/10.26434/chemr…

NextProf Nexus apps due April 22nd! Snr-level Ph.D. candidates, postdocs, early-career scientists or researchers in Engineering interested in a career in academia are eligible. Get started on your app now! bit.ly/3suoYhS #NextProf Berkeley Engineering Georgia Tech College of Engineering

Our quest to improve near-infrared-to-visible upconversion continues with new work, led by Pournima Narayanan. Here, we show that back transfer holds back these systems and fix it, increasing performance 5x towards low-power, efficient upconverting films! doi.org/10.26434/chemr…

Ghada Ahmed, Sebastian Fernández, Will Michaels, Natalia Murrietta, Vongaishe Mutatu, Demeng Feng and Rabeeya Hamid Kats Research Group, Kyra Muk Kam Yap, Dr. Tracy Schloemer, Thomas Jaramillo, and Mikhail Kats for all their hard work! Paper is here: doi.org/10.26434/chemr…

Congratulations to our Ona Segura for a successful final PhD defense and thanks to the examiners Zeger Hens PCN, David Norris David Norris Lab at ETH and Jillian Dempsey Jillian Dempsey for the interesting questions and discussion!! Good luck for your future adventure CongreveLab 👏🏻

Congrats! Looking forward to fun adventures soon :)

I've had the pleasure to work with and mentor both Natalia Murrietta and Will Michaels on their path towards graduate school and am excited that they are now both NSF GRFP winners! Stay tuned for their announcement on where they will conduct their PhD!

Happy to see this in print! We strongly believe that preparing talented underrepresented students early on in their undergrad is a viable pathway to improve DEI & access in engineering academia. Please take a look!

Building equitable access to graduate school is crucial to the future of science. Here, work led by Sebastian Fernández details the founding and operation of the Stanford Engineering Research Introductions Organization, designed to do just that! authors.elsevier.com/a/1j7JG8jWHELF…

For all those who think DEI hiring in academia is a significant threat.

I had the pleasure and honor to deliver an invited department seminar at Northwestern MSE as part of their MSE Future Leaders Seminar Series! Thank you to all faculty members and students for joining me as well as the follow-up conversations with MSE faculty members!

#DYSS 2024 TODAY! Tracy Schloemer (Dr. Tracy Schloemer), Arnold O. Beckman Postdoctoral Fellow at Stanford University (Stanford University), will be sharing a talk titled: "Harnessing Photons for Controlling Soft Matter with Upconversion." PAA A114 11:00a.m. -12:00p.m. tinyurl.com/Schloemer071624

Excited to be selected for the 2024 Rising Stars in Materials Science and Engineering workshop hosted by Stanford Materials Science and Engineering DMSE at MIT CMU Materials Science & Engineering MatSE at Illinois! Looking forward to connecting with both faculty and other rising stars participants!

Huge thanks to #DYSS for the opportunity to visit UW Chemical Engineering ! What a fantastic department filled with great faculty, postdocs, and students alike. Thanks to all who welcomed me and came to my seminar! Looking forward to staying in touch!

The fourth iteration of the Stanford Engineering Research Introductions (SERIS) Program is now accepting applications! If you know any UG underclassmen curious about STEM research, please share to have them join us Stanford Engineering for two days!

It is a tremendous honor to be named the winner of this year’s University of Washington Chemical Engineering Distinguished Young Scholars Seminar (DYSS) Series! As a trained EE, I was excited to share my research with this new ChemE community! Thank you for having me!
