Our latest work on CuGaO₂ was published in ACS Appl. Energy Mater.

https://pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.1021/acsaem.5c01851

This work shows that synthesis of CuGaO₂ nanocrystals at pH 5 vs pH 9 produces distinct differences in morphology and hole density, resulting in different electrochemical properties.

Dr. Farnum was selected as the next Lloyd and Sandra Nix Professor for Auburn University! This endowed professorship cycles every three years between the College of Science and Mathematics and the College of Liberal Arts. Dr. Farnum is deeply grateful for being selected and honored to carry the legacy of Lloyd and Sandra Nix.

Maksuda Parvin and Smriti Somai traveled to San Diego to attend the Spring 2025 National Meeting of the ACS. Both delivered oral presentations on their latest research.

The 2nd annual Local Section Research Symposium for the East Alabama West Georgia local section of the ACS was held in Columbus, GA. This year’s event was organized by Columbus State University faculty members Jonathan Meyers and Monica Frazier. This event continues to be a great resource for sharing research with our local community of chemists. This year we expanded to a judged competition for oral and poster presentations. We are proud that Maksuda and Musharraf won 1st and 2nd place for their oral presentations. Congrats to them both!

Smriti Somai successfully passed her Oral PhD Candidacy Exam. Congratulations!
