Check out Shao-Xiong Lennon Luo's paper that is now online at ACS Nano showing wireless (RFID) sensors for ammonia detection that can be used in Point of Care Diagnostics. doi.org/10.1021/acsnan…

The group got together yesterday to say goodbye to postdoc Justin (Seok Hee) Han, graduate student Yifan Wu, and visting undergraduate Yucheng Fu. Wishing them all the best in their next endeavors!

We're excited to welcome three first years to the group! Say hello to Rina Krstic, Tiffany Chuang, and Jennifer Pierre-Louis! Looking forward to seeing the exciting new chemistry they'll do!

Excited to see this collaboration with SmithLabMIT out in ACS Macro Journals! Led by recent graduate Dr. Kayla Storme

We're excited to share a new paper on PFAS detection with lateral flow assays out now in PNASNews! A combination of polyaniline and fluorous surfactant produces detection levels of 400 ppt for PFOA! Congrats to Dr. Sohyun Park and Collette Gordon pnas.org/doi/full/10.10…

Congratulations to grad student Collette Gordon (Collette Gordon) on winning the PMSE Centennial Best Poster Award at #ACSSpring2024 for her work on fabricating conducting polymer-based sensors!

The Swager group is on a roll with ANOTHER PMSE Centennial Best Poster Award today at #ACSSpring2024! Big congrats to grad student Molly Warndorf on the win!

We have one more talk at #ACSSpring2024 by postdoc Jesus Castro on ultratrace PFAS detection with flourescent polymers! Catch it at 3pm TODAY (Wednesday) in Galerie 4 (New Orleans Marriott)!

Highly contorted nanographene made of ten pyrrole rings fused around anthracene core. Embedded heptagons make it 90° twisted along the long axis. My new work with Swager Group published in J Org Chem/Org Lett pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Check out our new paper in J Org Chem/Org Lett by postdoc Abdusalom Suleymanov on the remarkably concise synthesis of a new N-doped contorted nanographene! The unique pattern of ring fusion imbues it with configurational stability and rich electrochemistry! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Huge congratulations to Swager graduate students Collette Gordon (Collette Gordon) and Rina Krstic on being awarded the NSF GRFP!

Check out our new perspective in ACS Sensors critically evaluating the state of the art in hydrogen sensing in collaboration with John Valenza at ExxonMobil doi.org/10.1021/acssen…

Congrats to grad student Molly Warndorf on winning a 2024 Department of Chemistry Leadership Award! Molly does so much for our group and the department as a whole, and we are thrilled to see her recognized for it!

Former grad student Kayla Storme and postdoc Benedikt Schreib just put out this paper in Macromolecules ACS Macro Journals showing how subtle structural changes can have large effects on porosity in poly(arylene ethers)! Take a look! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Swager Group members current and past congregated for #ISNA20 last week to watch Tim deliver the Nozoe Lecture and see five days of innovative chemistry from the community! Thanks to the organizers for facilitating this reunion and for a wonderful conference!

Take a look at our latest ACS Sensors publication on NDMA detection in water, led by former grad student Dr. Jessica Beard and postdoc Chi-Hsien Wang. A big step towards rapid, affordable environmental sensing! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
