McNeil Group

Our research is aimed at addressing some of the world's biggest challenges through chemical recycling or upcycling of waste plastics, developing methods to capture microplastics, measuring microplastics in the environment, and designing redox active molecules for energy storage applications.

Our Core Values

Everyone is welcomed, valued, and respected within our group.

Each graduate student and post-doc has their own bench and hood.

Each of our three “synthesis” labs has standard synthetic equipment.

Our new materials are characterized using a suite of instruments – both in house and on campus.

Undergraduate researchers have the opportunity to guide their own research projects.
