Check out our microfluidics-based strategy for shaping LCE microactuators into various 3D shapes in Adv. Mater., led by Milan, Hamed & Peiyuan (Tony)! @hseas @HarvardCCB advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad…
Check out our new work in @NatureComms on nanoscale wetting effects when preparing bimetallic PdAu alloy catalysts, led by @LimGarrick @hseas @HarvardCCB
In @NatureComms, we report how the sequence of preparing Pd8Au92/SiO2 catalysts tunes the size of Pd ensembles on the nanoparticle surface @HarvardCCB @hseas @ucmerced @NorthwesternU @stonybrooku @Materials_Intel @ChristianReece @UUBeta @AizenbergLab nature.com/articles/s4146…
At @ChemCatalysis, we worked with Sautet group @uclachem to study electron storage at the Au/anatase-TiO2 interface @hseas @HarvardCCB kwnsfk27.r.eu-west-1.awstrack.me/L0/https:%2F%2…
We are excited to publish on our brain ventricle model @PNASNews that can help hydrocephalus research progress further by understanding fluid dynamics in context of shunt implants @hseas pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
Check out our latest work, in collaboration with the Montemore group, on tuning one-pot reaction selectivity in dilute PdAu alloy catalysts! @HarvardCCB @hseas
We report in @CatalysisSciTec how the Pd ensemble size in dilute alloy PdAu catalysts tunes competitive adsorption kinetics to steer selectivity in one-pot hydrogenation and reduction amination reactions. @HarvardCCB @hseas pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…
Our recent PhD grad @LimGarrick will be at @NAM29NACS to give a broad summary of his PhD work @HarvardCCB @hseas
At @NAM29NACS on Tuesday, I will share how our raspberry-colloid-templating method can be employed as a model catalytic platform by broadly surveying some of my PhD works from @AizenbergLab. Extended abstract here: lnkd.in/eiP779uV
Our lab celebrated commencement with Joanna hooding our three PhD graduates: Haritosh, Milan, and @LimGarrick! @hseas @HarvardCCB @HarvardGSAS

Check out what some of our undergrads @hseas @HarvardCCB are working on! We hope that more undergrads will work with us!
Proud mentor moment: The SpiroSniff team wins the Ingenuity Award and the Dean's Award!🏆 The vision: a portable, AI-driven, real-time, and non-invasive breathalyzer for detecting lung cancer—and more diseases. Check it out 👉innovationlabs.harvard.edu/venture/spiros… #SEAS #Harvard #SpiroSniff
Over the past week, we celebrated the PhD defenses of Milan, @LimGarrick, and Haritosh - congratulations!! Thank you to all who supported them through their PhDs! @hseas @HarvardCCB @wyssinstitute


Excited to work with @cargnellogroup and @jaramillogroup on CO2 catalysis from this fall as a @StanfordEnergy postdoc fellow! Thanks to @AizenbergLab, Anatoly Frenkel, & Jessi van der Hoeven for support! @HarvardCCB @hseas @HarvardGSAS @astar_research energypostdoc.stanford.edu/news/new-energ…
Check out our newest research in collaboration with @ORNL on active and stable diesel oxidation catalysts at @ChemEurope
@AizenbergLab report in @ChemEurope how our raspberry-colloid-templating method can produce active and stable PtPd diesel oxidation catalysts under industry-defined testing. Research sponsored by @wyssinstitute, @doddtra, @ENERGY, @hseas, @HarvardCCB. …mistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/cs…
Check out our new perspective @AdvPortfolio Adv. Sci. on how natural biological olfaction (i.e., sniffing) can guide future designs of electronic noses! @hseas @wyssinstitute advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad…
Check out our new work at @PNASNews , led by @LimGarrick, on enhancing interfacial catalytic performance by partial nanoparticle embedding!
We report in @PNASNews how partial PdAu nanoparticle embedding into TiO2 support accentuates catalytic contributions from the Au/TiO2 interface. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… @AizenbergLab @hseas @HarvardCCB Research supported by @doescience, @doddtra
Fancy some nanoscopic crystal art? Joanna collaborated with Wim's group at @_amolf to demonstrate how BaCO3 crystal growth can be directed, now published in @CGD_ACS @wyssinstitute @HarvardCCB @hseas pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…
Congratulations to our @HarvardCCB grad student @LimGarrick for being selected for the @Materials_MRS graduate student awards! @hseas Check out his talk tomorrow Dec 4, 9 am ET, Hynes room 103
👏 Celebrate excellence in materials research at the #F24MRS Graduate Student Awards Special Talk Sessions! 🌟 Join us to support award finalists as they showcase their groundbreaking research! 🧪🎓 🗓️ Dec 3, 12:15–3:15 PM ET 📍 Marriott, 1st Floor #MRSCommunity
Congratulations to our @hseas postdoc @hmd_almohammadi, who has been named as a rising star by @UChicago MRSEC! Listen to Hamed’s research on the virtual symposium on Dec 11-12! mrsec.uchicago.edu/about-us/risin…
Inspired by how lotus leaves naturally repel water, researchers in @AizenbergLab created a new, PFAS-free coating for fabrics that keeps water out without harming people or the planet. #Sustainability #PFAS onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad…
The Aizenberg lab, past and present, is well-represented at @ChEnected AIChE 2024 in San Diego! @an_avs_na @Fritz_Stricker @JacyTaci @hmd_almohammadi @LimGarrick @HaichaoWu_HW @hseas @HarvardCCB
