  • Amanda Dodson, Senior Capstone Seminar About 37% of U.S. adults are diagnosed with Metabolic Syndrome (MetS), which is the combination of metabolic risk factors including insulin resistance,

    taken for characterization using instrumental analysis: diffusion ordered spectroscopy (DOSY) NMR, N-Proton NMR, and Uv-vis spectroscopy to determine what was synthesized prior to further synthesis of the nanocrystals. Characterizing using DOSY allows for the estimation of the diffusion constant and mass of the intermediate. Whereas Uv-Vis spectroscopy allowed for the confirmation of absorbance at a certain wavelength to determine the formation of clusters and reinforce what type of intermediate was

    fundamental research opportunities in the fields of bioplastics and biocomposites. The students will gain hands-on experience with synthesis, processing, and characterization of biobased plastics and composite materials.   During the program, the students will participate in a series of bioplastics short courses, have responsibility for an independent research project performed with state-of-the-art equipment and facilities, and engage with leading industry experts from the Industrial Advisory Board of

  • In the world of science, significant discoveries can come in tiny packages. Picture being able to make and change things so small they’re nearly invisible. That’s where colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals shine. These super small wonders are made in solution and grown to have different sizes…

    and grow by examining the reaction solution at different times during the synthesis. The team also varied the temperature, solvents, and reactants to determine their role in the nanocrystals’ formation and growth. The ultimate goal of this project is to understand the synthesis well enough to develop new procedures to grow ZnSe nanorods with specific diameter and length. Student Voices | Hopson and Smith share about their summer researching colloidal ZnSe nanocrystals. CREATING REACTIONS: “Here, I
