Curtis successfully passed his B-exam today, wrapping up his years at Cornell. Impressive presentation, great weather, perfect for a celebration. Good luck at Dow-Dupont, and congratulations!

Tobias has been promoted to Full professor. The decision is based on reviews of students, colleagues and international peers, and highlights his commitment to teaching, mentoring, motivating students and redesigning educational approaches. We, the lab members couldn’t agree more. Congratulations!

Ben’s work on the mechanistic details of growing nanowires on heated copper surfaces is published in Chemistry of Materials. The work discusses the thermodynamics of the seed formation, and shows a beautiful, simple method to study the process in situ. Read the paper HERE.
Congratulations!

The Hanrath Energy Lab wishes you happy holidays and a new year rich in results, grants and obtained skills and knowledge!
