Congratulations to Aleia Bellcross and former Geiger group member Ariana Gray Be for their paper on chiral cloud chemistry that just came out in JACS.

Congrats to Emily Ma for leading a major effort to understand Stern and diffuse layer interactions at fused silica:water interfaces from experiment and theory. The paper is published here.

Congratulations to PNNL Pauling Fellow Mavis Boamah, who was just hired to a permanent staff position of Experimental Geochemist at PNNL!

Emily’s year-and-a-half-long foray into kinetic measurements of Stern and diffuse layer structure during ionic strength cycling now available at this arXiv preprint.

Congratulations to Catherine Walker, who’s talk placed third at the 2021 Northwestern University Undergraduate Expo. Watch the talk here. The work is on her contributions to the PNAS paper on the same topic.

Please visit the pre-print here and here. The published paper is now here.  

A story on air pollution by Northwestern Magazine writer Amanda Morris highlights work by Franz and colleagues across various schools at NU. Read the article here.

We are excited to have our squalene paper with the Tobias group published in JPC! What a complicated molecule – and yet it’s part in all of our skin oil. Read the paper here.

Paul and Franz gave their joint lecture for the 2021 ACS Nobel Laureate Signature Award in Graduate Education at the virtual Spring ACS meeting. You can see the recording here. The award recognizes wo rk on second- and third-order nonlinear optical mixing at charged interfaces, as described in the following publications: “Beyond the Gouy-Chapman Model Read More…
