A special brozeklab lunch to bid farewell to a special postdoc Jiawei Huang. We look forward to all his success in his soon-to-be-announced exciting next steps. Stayed tuned!

Checkout our new collaboration with Alina Schimpf and Christopher H. Hendon! Convert thermal waste energy into electricity using electrolytes with huge charge and hence maximum solvent reorganization entropy pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

I am here because Boettcher Lab founded the OCE and aimed for the stars. I also want to thank Gary Harlow and Linqin Mu_穆林沁 for being partners in growing the electrochemistry engine we have today and brozeklab for looking for ways to collaborate from my first days in Eugene.

In our recent special issue, we explore the role of lattice dynamics in emerging trends. This new research will help uncover the role of lattice dynamics in dictating the properties and functions of crystalline dynamic materials. Read the issue: go.acs.org/8OF

Unlike colloidal quantum dots, MOF particles lack traditional surface ligands but remain stable. Instead, they dissolve like polymers, proteins, and other macromolecules. Check out our collaboration with Chad Risko and Di Wu! University of Oregon University of Oregon Research pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

The UO Chemistry Club is hosting graduate talks this Thursday, April 25th from 6-7 pm in KLA 107! There will be 3 excellent graduate student speakers & free pizza! Our lineup consists of Audrey Davenport (Brozek Lab), Doran Pennington (Hendon Lab) & Monique Demuth (Rapp Lab)

Colloidal MOF particles possess ordered solvation shells akin to proteins, as revealed by surface-specific spectroscopy, remaining stable without deliberate capping ligands. Pioneering study by our very own Ashley Mapile (she/her). Out now in ACS Nano! University of Oregon pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.102…

TODAY! Dissertation defense – Jacob McKenzie, Brozek Lab - Thursday, May 9, 2024 3:00pm in 240A Mckenzie Hall and via ZOOM tinyurl.com/3567w24f

Today! O-I-M Chemistry Seminar - Grace Han, Brandeis University - 3pm in WIL 110 tinyurl.com/5xm5b7er

Congrats to Dr LeRoy and Dr McKenzie, PhD’s #3 and #4 from the ⁦brozeklab ⁩!!!! Very proud of you two. It’s the end of an era with the initial cohort who built the lab, but we look forward to all you’re going to achieve 🎉🎊

One of my most meaningful seminar visits was part of the 2023 Dream Chemistry Awards in IOCB Prague this past December when I had the surprise of spending time with Prof. Michl. He had such wide interests and spoke with wit and humor. His impact will be long-lived

Upcoming O-I-M Chemistry Seminar - Michael Ruggiero, University of Rochester - May 24th @ 3pm in WIL 110 tinyurl.com/2wt5hny8

We’re all so proud of the three newest doctors from the brozeklab and UO Chem and Biochem. Congrats Ashley Mapile (she/her) LeRoy and Jake!!

Give us a glass of water and Jiawei Huang and brozeklab team can tell you the anions inside. Conductive MOF nanoparticles as the first sensors to detect mixtures of electrochemical signals from mixtures of anions J. Am. Chem. Soc. University of Oregon pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

On behalf of Amanda ProfAMo and myself Shustova Group - MOF-2026 in New Orleans🎷 #MOF2026🎷- save the dates! Please send us organization suggestions and cannot wait to see you again! Thank you Dan Zhao MOF2024 - it was great!😊 Repost is appreciated... 😊

Metal-linker bonds become more labile (and soft modes become softer) in MOF nanoparticles, leading to size-dependent phase changes. Thanks to Audrey for leading the effort and for another great collaboration with Satoshi Horike University of Oregon UO Chem and Biochem pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Congratulations to Ashley Mapile & Harrison Reid - recipients of the @uoChandBIC 2024 Graduate Student Community Builder Award!blogs.uoregon.edu/chemdeptblog/2…
