Getting ready for tomorrow’s lecture in ECS PRIME 2024, Honolulu, Hawai

Excited to share our newly published paper in the Journal of Materials Chemistry A! We revealed the synergy of double ion exchange and surface polarizability for high-capacity sorption of silver and lead ions from water. pubs.rsc.org/en/Content/Art…

It was a great visit to VCU Chemistry for a seminar talk! I am fascinated by witnessing the spectacular research of the Department of Chemistry! Thanks Professor Indika Arachchige for the invitation and the great hospitality.

My colleague Sri Fraser Fraser has entered the realm of legends: a pioneer in organic chemistry who introduced mechanical bonds, revolutionizing molecular recognition, self-assembly, and nano-devices like switches and machines. He will be sorely missed

It was a pleasure to host Professor Sara Skrabalak at Jackson State U. for a seminar talk! Grateful for the inspiring discussions & career advice for our students. Huge thanks to the HBCU Clean Energy & Education Award for the support!

Interested in Li-ion batteries? Check out our newly published paper in J. Am. Chem. Soc., where we present a design strategy for sulfide-based electrodes to address key challenges in lithium-sulfide batteries. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

It was a pleasure to host Prof. Bobev at Jackson State U.. In his engaging talk, he showcased how his team leverages crystallography for chemical manipulation to develop innovative semiconductors. Thanks to JSU’s HBCU Clean Energy & Education Award for making his visit possible.

Happy to share our latest Inorganics paper (invited), featuring a material innovation for capturing precious metals while detoxifying heavy metal-contaminated water! Honored to have it as a cover article!! mdpi.com/2304-6740/13/2 mdpi.com/2304-6740/13/2…

Congratulations to my graduate student Oketola on receiving the prestigious RG Foundation award at the Waste Management Symposium in Phoenix, AZ. We are incredibly proud of your achievements and the hard work that led to this milestone. Keep up the fantastic work.

Big congrats to Mercouri Kanatzidis , my amazing postdoc mentor, on his well-deserved ACS Chemistry of Materials award! I'm truly humbled and honored to present our work from Jackson State U. at the Chemistry of Materials Symposium, organized in his honor, at ACS Spring San Diego 2025!

Thank you to JSU for putting together such a thoughtful and wonderful story about my research and the NSF CAREER Award. Grateful to be part of a community that celebrates and supports scientific discovery😇 jsumsnews.com/jsu-cset-profe…

I had the privilege of giving a motivational talk at Jackson State U. and was honored to receive a beautiful crystal globe pen set. Thank you to JSU Global for the invitation. Moment like this reminds me why I’m passionate about education, inspiring & being inspired.

Happy to share our latest paper on amorphous semiconducting ZnxMo₃S₁₃–GO chalcocarbogel and its amazing electrochemical performance for Li-ion batteries. Congratulations to Weret A Misganaw for such an amazing work! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac….

Congratulations to Profs. Kovnir and Zaikina on organizing a highly successful 2025 NASSCC at Iowa State University. Thank you both for your incredible service to the solid state community and for the warm invitation to share my research among such inspiring minds.

Happy to share our just published paper in JMCA that reports an chalcogel with exceptional stability and capacity as a sulfur-based cathode, where Zn-mediated polysulfide anchoring make it one of the most durable pure metal sulfide cathodes to date😊 doi.org/10.1039/D5TA04…

Attended the “AI for Environmental Management” workshop organized by Savannah River National Laboratory’s Advanced Manufacturing Collaborative. Grateful for the opportunity to learn from a multidisciplinary team of scientists about the role of AI in managing legacy nuclear waste
