| Aleksandra Vojvodic is Catalyzing Ideas for Clean Energy | |||
Engaging with the complex quantum mechanical properties that determine how materials behave, Aleksandra Vojvodic, Skirkanich Assistant Professor of Innovation in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, employ supercomputers to churn through thousands of candidates in search of new green energy catalysts. The goal: chemical reactions that liverate hydrogen from water and capture the leftover oxygen. |

| Penn Team Devises Easier Way to Make 'Bijels,' a Complex New Form of Liquid Matter | |||
Kathleen Stebe and Daeyeon Lee, of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, and Martin Haase, a postdoctoral researcher who works in both of their labs, have developed an easier way to make bicontinuous interfacially jammed emulsion gel, or bijel. This type of emulsion is eyed as a kind of liquid conveyor belt for continuous chemical reactions. |
