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

project is seeking to utilize new machine learning methods to understand the fundamental interactions between pixels in photopolymer 3D printing. Our goal for the summer will be to make resins with unique chemical properties (Arrhenius parameters, viscosity, functional group density, reaction mechanism, etc.) and try to map some of the fit parameters that come out of the machine learning algorithm to physical/chemical properties. Ultimately we hope that this framework can enable rapid development of
