³Ô¹ÏÁÔÆæ's Dr. Julia Wiester presented research at National American Chemical Society Conference
³Ô¹ÏÁÔÆæ's (³Ô¹ÏÁÔÆæ) Department of Chemistry Assistant Professor Julia Wiester, Ph.D., presented research at the 251st American Chemical Society (ACS) meeting in San Diego, CA. The work was presented during a physical chemistry session as well as the "Sci-Mix" session, which highlighted projects from multiple disciplines.
Dr. Wiester presented research that was done with ³Ô¹ÏÁÔÆæ students, Jason Gross and Edgar Crespo, on dye-sensitized solar cells. The students built their own solar cells in labs at ³Ô¹ÏÁÔÆæ and determined the efficiency of the cells. They investigated ways to improve the efficiency of the cells and how to optimize conditions. The project was well-received and Dr. Wiester got some great feedback and tips from experts in the field.
