Jebrell Glover Process Development Scientist at Eurofins - Lancaster Labs. The Glover group published a paper in Biophysical Chemistry entitled "Reconstitution of Full-Length Human caveolin-1 Into Phospholipid Bicelles: Validation by Analytical Ultracentrifugation." The Glover group also published a book chapter in Methods in Molecular Biology entitled "Preparation of Caveolin-1 for NMR Spectroscopy Experiments." Former Glover lab member Lucie Loftus started a position as a Downstream Department of Chemistry · Page 9 Faculty News Lisa Fredin study a broad range of materials as they are used experimentally including disorder. In addition to fundamental discoveries, we are realizing the technological potential of our research by collaborating with synthetic chemists and material scientists, spectroscopists, and engineers. The Fredin Group has had a productive year learning more about how disorder in materials affect their photo- and catalytic chemistries, including light-driven faceted-metal nanoparticle catalysis, conduction in open shell organic materials, and manganese dopants and vacancies in perovskite oxides. The group is building computational methodologies bridging physical chemistry, material science, and nanoscience to This year, the group was awarded two Lehigh CORE grants to seed new projects in modeling amorphous moly oxide with Profs. Strandwitz (Mat. Sci.) and Webb (Mechanical Engineering) and a new class of covalent frameworks with Profs. Landskron and Young. The group has expanded their resources to over 1.5 million computing hours. All these resources came in handy during the transition to remote work when other experimental students were using more computational time and the national computing centers were dedicating resources to the pandemic. In addition, Prof. Fredin, Profs. Rangarajan, Balasubramanian, and Webb (Chemical and Mechanical Engineering), and Dr. Pacheco (Research Computing) were recently awarded $400,000 from NSF to build a new supercomputer at Lehigh. This summer Prof. Fredin Co-Chaired the Photochemistry Spotlight virtual symposium, where 23 speakers and 6 discussion leaders had discussions around some of the big questions in photochemistry. Over 830 unique users joined from 43 countries making it one of the largest photochemistry meetings ever! In addition, Prof. Fredin gave an invited talk at North East Centre for Energy Materials (NECEM) at Newcastle University virtually in July. Robert Flowers Robert Flowers gave two invited lectures at Ithaca College and Virginia Tech entitled: “Unraveling the Mechanism of Electron Transfer from Samarium(II)-Water Complexes.” He also gave an invited lecture at the 9th Pacific Symposium on Radical Chemistry entitled: Proton Coupled Electron Transfer in Substrate Reduction by Sm(II)-Proton Donor Complexes. He is also a co-organizer of Angular Momentum, a monthly virtual international conference series highlighting exciting research in f-element chemistry.
