Also I’m presenting our work on Wednesday! Come learn about post-transition metals and plasmonics! #ACSSpring2022

It was an honor to host Stoneham High, Chelmsford High, and Salem High #chemistry students for our ACS @ UML Chemistry Quiz Bowl! Way to pull out the win, Chelmsford Schools Science Department !! We hope everyone enjoyed their visit, and thanks for stopping by the Dean’s Office! Ross Lab UMass Lowell

Excited to share our latest work! Systematic alloying of post-transition metals into noble metals can controllably tune plasmon energies to higher energies. This is contrast to well-known effects of size, shape, or environment, all of which red-shift LSPRs chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…

Importantly, alloying does not significantly damp the absorption. High extinction coefficients are maintained even at ~25% post-transition metal content. Lots of interesting alloying and intermetallic formation as well- read the paper (and SI)!

Excited to show you all some exciting catalysis and materials apps soon... The bulk of this was done by Maria over a few years and is an incredible piece of work we are quite proud of Maria Fonseca Guzman Melissa and Noah (looking for PhD next year!) were also a big part of the effort.

Let's give a huge round of applause to our 2022 Teaching Excellence Award recipients! (part 1 of 3) @NatalieSteinel Ross Lab UMass Lowell Biology #kcs #science #2022teaching excellenceawards

Amazing! Check out #Honors #Chem student, Noah Mason, who received the James Flack Norris and Theodore William Richards Undergraduate Summer Scholarship from #NESACS! uml.edu/Profiles/Noah-… Michael Ross Ross Lab UMass Lowell Research UMass Lowell’s Honors College NESACS

Did you know that through our partnership with the University of Versailles in France, the #KCS is hosting four undergraduate students for a 10-week internship under the supervision of faculty members from #Biology and #Chemistry departments? Ross Lab Teresa Lee

Great to have our second annual Ross-Reuther group party!

The Kennedy College of Sciences welcomed our first ever cohort of #CatalyzeUML students in #chemistry! It’s been a fun 3 days of living in the residence halls, learning about #nanoscience, and meeting students and faculty! Ross Lab

Great to see current undergraduate researcher Noah Mason (Chemistry) highlighted at the top of the uml.edu homepage! Follow the link to learn about his experience. @UML_Sciences UMass Lowell Research

Congratulations to Prof. Michael Ross (Chemistry) on his solo PI research grant from the Office of Naval Research (ONR) for his work on energy related topics for #hydrogen and #CO2sequestration! Ross Lab

Big accepted! Great way to kick off the year

Very excited that our latest is live on Matter_CP! We show Au and Ag plasmonic nanoparticle absorption can be tuned to higher energies (blue and UV) by alloying post-transition metals (Sn, etc.) Ross Lab @UML_Sciences UMass Lowell Research authors.elsevier.com/a/1gX1j9Cyxd30…

Congratulations to Adam Nir (Mechanical Engineering), Alice Zhou (Physics), & Noah Mason (Chemistry), this year's recipients of the Balasubramanian Family Honors Thesis Award, which is awarded to those honors students who conduct the best STEM-related Honors Thesis presentation!

Congrats to Noah for winning the campus wide honors thesis award!!!

New paper out! We describe a detailed protocol in STAR Protocols for synthesizing and characterizing Au-Sn alloy plasmonic nanoparticles. Congrats Anthony and all! star-protocols.cell.com/protocols/2799
