Profs. Zhu and Personick Awarded Seed Funding for Projects in Energy and Sustainability

Two CICLEC faculty members have been awarded seed funding from the College and Graduate School of Arts and Science's Dean's Office: Professor Huiyuan Zhu has been awarded $50,000 for her project, "Enabling a Circuit Economy from CO2 and Nitrate Wastes: Tailoring Single-Atom and Host Metal Interactions for Electrocatalytic C-N Coupling with Explainable AI." Professor Michelle Personick was awarded $50,000 for her project, "Parallel Screening of Conditions for the Electrodeposition of Multimetallic Nanoparticles; Pilot Data for a Collaborative Proposal on Critical Element Recovery from Waste Streams." Both projects demonstrate a commitment to addressing critical challenges in energy and sustainability through cutting-edge research.
