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

  • 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, 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.

While the camp is a full @McNeilGroup effort, it is being led by this fab teaching team: post-doc Dr. Woojung Ji ( @WoojungJi), graduate student Vai Shastri, & @umich undergraduate Sarena Chirdon ( @sarenachirdon). Dr. Danielle Fagnani ( @fagnaninomics) is been passing the torch! https://t.co/FqxozPLcjA

Very excited about this new project with @AnneJMcNeil @alsteine @ZimmermanUMich and Ambuj Tewari to look at microplastics in the atmosphere!

Will use chemistry, atmospheric modeling, and machine learning to study a tough topic!
