Ben Pollara was honored with the CRC General Chemistry Achievement Award this year. Well done Ben!! In the picture, from left to right: Prof. Navea, Ben Pollara’28, and past CRC award recipients Lily Watson’27 and Rachel Hambuchen’26. This is the fifth CRC award in a row from our group!

Lab Alumni, Dan Lesko’17, receives the Gapontsev Prize for Innovations in Fiber Lasers, from the Optical Society of America (Optica). Congratulations Dan! A well-deserved recognition.

Congratulations to Lily, Elizabeth, and Caroline for the Front Cover of Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics and the publication of our paper on a marine chromophore model!

Our book on “Chemistry & Photochemistry on Interfaces,” part of the ACS In Focus series, is now available. Congrats to Lyra and Natasha, and to our collaborators from New Mexico Tech Malsha Kanaththage and Dr. Rubasinghege. Well done!

The paper “Absorption Spectra and Electronic Structure of 4-Imidazolecarboxaldehyde at Different pH: Experimental and Theoretical Insights into a Marine Chromophore Model” has been accepted for publication in Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics. Congrats Lily, Elizabeth, and Caroline. Well done!

Congratulations to Claudia, Angelina, Rachel, Jack, Cecily, Aida and Natasha for the Front Cover of the Journal of Physical Chemistry A and the publication of our paper on plasma chemistry!

The paper “Elucidating the Impact of Wildfire Molecular Tracers on Nitrous Acid (HONO) Production from Aqueous Nitrate Photochemistry“, in collaboration with the Grassian group, has been accepted for publication in ACS Environmental Science & Technology: Air.

The paper “Probing O(3P) Reactivity with Chemisorbed Hydrocarbons: Insights from Experiment and Theory” has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Physical Chemistry A. Congrats to Claudia, Angelina, Rachel, Jack, Cecily, Aida and Natasha. Well done!
