Summer researchers prepare for upcoming semester
After a fun and eventful ten weeks, the Jeffries-EL group said their goodbyes to this summer's visiting/hosted undergraduates. These student were given the opportunity to gain hands-on research experience under their graduate mentors. Pictured left to right are: Christopher Cunningham (UWF), Felecia Hudibjo (BU), Chris Constantinou (BU), and Sebastian Perez-Espina... More
Jeffries-EL and student to present at conference this June
This week, Dr. Jeffries-EL and graduate student, Carmen Betts, travel to Bloomington, IL to present current research at the 46th National Organic Chemistry Symposia (NOS). On Thursday, Professor Jeffries-EL will be discussing current research based on benzobisoxazole (BBO) and benzodifuran (BDF) based materials for organic electronics. Mrs. Betts will be... More
Shalom! Jeffries-EL and student travel to Israel for collaborative research trip
This June, Dr. Jeffries-EL and graduate student, David Wheeler, traveled to the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (HUJI) to characterize and understand the properties of several organic materials for potential use in OLED devices. During the visit, Dr. Jeffries-EL gave two talks about the group's research at Ben Gurion University (BGU)... More
Jeffries-EL group publish hot new paper in American Chemical Society journal
First author, Ramiro Chavez III, published his latest work "Evaluating the Impact of Fluorination on the Electro-Optical Properties of Cross-Conjugated Benzobisoxazoles" in the American Chemical Society's Journal of Physical Chemistry A. Check out his work here: DOI:10.1021/acs.jpca.8b07778
Congratulations, Dr. Ramiro Chavez III
After much hard work and perseverance, the Jeffries-EL group was able to celebrate with Ramiro on his successful doctoral defense: "The Design and Synthesis of Next Generation Organic Semiconductors Based on Benzobisoxazole". Dr. Chavez III will be the ninth doctoral student to graduate under Dr. Jeffries-EL. Way to go, Ramiro!
Farewell, Robin
The Jeffries-EL group bid a heartfelt farewell to Robin Wessling after completing 6 months of research abroad from his home university in Freiburg, Germany. Robin's research focused on the synthesis of D-A polymers for organic solar cell application. Good luck, Robin!
Professor Jeffries-EL to present at the Women in Science 1st Erlangen Symposium
Professor Jeffries-EL will travel to Germany this December This symposium gives female researchers not only the possibility to present their scientific achievements, but also the way they succeeded. On the other hand, the next generation scientists gets insights into possible career pathways and the possibility to network and establish collaborations with... More
