Congrats to Garrett for being awarded the 2020 Maria Lastra Excellence in Mentoring Award! Garrett was the first student to join my group and deserves credit in setting the right tone from the beginning. He has been a positive influence to my group and others in the UChicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering.

Awesome news! Congratulations to all the awardees.

A few photos from the PMSE/Poly joint plenary session and award ceremony last night. Congrats again to the awardees. #ACSFall2022 #ACSChicago #Polymer #Awards ACS POLY Division American Chemical Society

Couldn't be more excited to see this work, with former graduate student Jiaze Xie as first-author, out today in nature (nature.com/articles/s4158…). We're super excited about this material, and a whole family of related amorphous coordination polymers.
