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…
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…
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…
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
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
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

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
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
At #AiChE 2024 @ChEnected, I'll discuss how nanoparticle proximity can be employed as a mesoscale tool to direct reaction selectivity.

Check out our collaborative work led by Stony Brook (Anatoly Frenkel), with @UUBeta, U Oslo, Swiss beamline, @LimGarrick. In @NatureComms, we studied the dynamic response(s) of surface Pd species in PdAu alloys to H2 & O2 pulses. @HarvardCCB @hseas nature.com/articles/s4146…
With Michael & Joanna @AizenbergLab, we share in @J_A_C_S our perspective on how incorporating colloidal templating into (thermo)catalyst design unlocks control over its environment beyond the active sites @HarvardCCB @hseas pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…
With @AizenbergLab and @ChristianReece, we share on @acsnano how we used our raspberry-colloidal-templating platform to deconvolute nanoparticle proximity and size effects in thermocatalysis, following up on 10.1038/s41929-023-01104-1 @HarvardCCB @hseas pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.102…
Check out @SelinaKKaiser1’s work elucidating the effect of Pd ensemble size in PdAu/SiO2 for benzaldehyde hydrogenation, in collaboration with the Friend/Madix and Sautet labs @HarvardCCB @uclachem doi.org/10.1021/acscat…
Congratulations, boss!
