The Clancy group is grateful to have received funding from the following sources in the past few years:
Successful Thesis Defenses
The Clancy Group extends a big congratulations to the following group members who orally defended their doctoral theses in 2022: An additional congratulations to Wenxin Xi for successfully defending her master’s thesis titled “Lead Chalcogenide Quantum Dot Assembly and Attachment on Fluid Interfaces” We are very proud of you and Continue Reading
New Students!
We are pleased to welcome Wenxin Qi and Yirun (Gigi) Wang to our lab this semester. Wenxin is a first-year master’s student and will be studying the assembly of lead chalcogenide quantum dot superlattices under Isaiah Chen’s tutelage. Gigi is a ChemBE sophomore, who will be supervised jointly by Connor Continue Reading
Andrew Ruttinger wins Cornell and Hopkins awards for thesis excellence
Andrew Ruttinger (PhD May 2021) won two awards recognizing the outstanding quality of his PhD research. In December 2020, Andrew received the Austin Hooey award from Cornell University, from whom he received his Ph.D. degree. This award is given to two students from the Robert Smith School of Chemical and Continue Reading
A very productive spring semester for group graduates!
We would like to say a huge congratulations to Andrew Ruttinger and Nikita Sengar for successfully completing their B-exam! Dr. Ruttinger defended his Ph.D. thesis in May 2021 titled ‘Development of Energy Systems towards a Low Carbon Future: From Atoms to Policies.’ He has returned to Canada to work for Natural Resources Canada, a governmental organization Continue Reading
Congratulations Xinru!
Xinru Yun has passed her MS defense on the ‘Computational Study of LbL Assembly for Phase Change Materials’ with flying colors! Those in attendance were particularly impressed with the volume of work she was able to accomplish in her time with the group under Andrew Ruttinger’s tutelage. Her plan is to Continue Reading
Welcome to the Group Connor!
Our group is excited to welcome our newest Ph.D. student, Connor Ganley. Connor came to JHU ChemBE from the department of chemical engineering at University of Maryland Baltimore County. Alongside his academics, Connor also competed with the Maryland State swim team, showing excellent time management and work ethic by balancing Continue Reading
Our New Paper has been Selected as Editor’s Choice
There is an overwhelming selection of optimal species and processing conditions to fabricate hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite (HOIP) thin films via solution processing. This makes it attractive to use computational methods to narrow our search to those species that produce high quality films. Our new paper, led by Ford Fellow Blaire Sorenson, provides Continue Reading
Thank You to Our Summer Researchers
Over the summer, we had the privilege of mentoring several students on our group’s research in the area computational materials. Nia and Caleb worked alongside Henry Herbol, a postdoc in our group, gaining experience in molecular modelling and programming. Meanwhile, AJ worked with Seun on gaining insight into metal halide Continue Reading
Nia Completes the HEMI Program
Nia Lowery, a local high school rising senior, received her certificate yesterday for completing an Army-sponsored program through Hopkins Extreme Materials Institute (HEMI). Nia’s already strong programming skills helped her to make great strides on a challenging project to create a reaction mechanism database. Nia plans to apply to universities as a BME Continue Reading
