The group is celebrating🎉🎉 the production of its 3rd #PhD . Congratulations, the newly minted Dr. Oluseye Adeyemi ! McMaster ChemEng

Tune in for two teams from Xi Research Group (McMaster University)

Work by our latest PhD Grad Oluseye was selected as a Featured article by Phys. Fluids AIP Publishing . It investigates the best practices for computing viscoelastic properties of #polymers in computer models. McMaster ChemEng #Free download for 14 days! bit.ly/AdeyemiPOF22

We are fortunate to have four brilliant undergraduate researchers working with us in the summer.

Thanks AIP Publishing for highlighting our research.

Check out McMaster Engineering highlighting the work of Abigail, one of the four wonderful summer students who had the fortune to work with this year! McMaster ChemEng

Catching probably the last bit of warmth of the year, the group enjoyed some quality fun time together in a BBQ party -- the first in-person gathering of the last three years!🍔🍔🥳🎉

Kept on referring to this VLLE phase diagram as the "bunny head" plot in my thermodynamics class. Now finally something new to use!

Congratulations to Naveen Vasudevan for winning the best poster award in the student poster competition at #CCEC2022 of Chemical Institute of Canada !

Go Naveen Vasudevan !

Happy to celebrate with the oligomaster team on our various partnership projects on #sustainable plastics #manufacturing ! (Yes, I noticed the floating heads as well, and yes, they are real team members 😝)

The latest COVER of #Macromolecular Theory & Simulations Wiley STEM features Naveen Vasudevan 's work showing that by optimally re-allocating computational resources between sampling windows, more efficient #FreeEnergy calculation can be achieved. McMaster ChemEng bit.ly/VasudevanMTS24

What an experience co-hosting the 1st #Circular #Vinyl Technologies (#CVT) symposium with oligomaster on Tues! We are overwhelmed by the positive responses from the industry. Kudos to all students who contributed! #sustainability #recycling #ZeroPlasticWaste McMaster ChemEng

Congratulations, Lubhan, who finished second place in the poster competition of the McMaster ChemEng Conference #MUCEC. Also big kudos to Adekunle, Nick, Hossein, and Yuriy for representing the group so well at the event.

Yesterday, we celebrated Yucheng Feng's defense for M. Sc. in computational science and engineering. All the best, Yucheng!

Thanks for featuring our ongoing work aiming at closing the loop for #PVC materials flow and reducing #PlasticWaste. #Recycling #PlasticPollution #Sustainability

It was a busy Aug-Sep period when the group celebrated the production of its 4th #PhD Naveen Vasudevan and two masters Hossein and Nick Rountes. The latter were also the first two purely experimental theses produced from the group.McMaster ChemEng oligomaster

And we celebrated with a little bit of McMaster University tradition 🥂🥂🌞

Former M.A.Sc. student Hossein Ipakchi was able to significantly improve LDHs' performance as stabilizers for #PVC, with potential application in PVC #Recycling, #Sustainability and #CircularEconomy McMaster ChemEng oligomaster bit.ly/HICEJ25

Article by Naveen Vasudevan was among the #TopViewedArticle! It proposed a new method for computing the free energy of adsorption involving polymer chains and was featured on the journal cover. McMaster ChemEng McMaster Engineering Wiley in research bit.ly/VasudevanMTS24
