Two chemistry research students, Ariana La Rosa 鈥21 and Claudio Amaya 鈥21, were awarded a research grant from the Independent College Fund of New Jersey (ICFNJ) and will present their research findings at the Liberty Science Center in March 2020. La Rosa’s
research is titled 鈥淩uthenium Water-Oxidation Catalysts Based on Amide Ligands鈥 and Amaya’s research is on 鈥淚mmobilization of Water-Oxidation Catalysts on Carbon Nanoparticles鈥. Both research students are working with their research advisor Yosra Badiei, Ph.D., assistant professor of chemistry, who also helped them write and develop their research proposal earlier this summer. Amaya will also be working with Wanlu Li, Ph.D., assistant professor of chemistry.Ariana Le Rosa , Claudio Amaya, Professor Li , and Advisor Badiei
