Graduate Student Liz Laudadio Defends Thesis

Liz Laudadio (Hamers group, University of Wisconsin-Madison) defended her doctoral dissertation, entitled “Chemical Transformations of Lithium Cobalt Oxide Nanoparticles in Model Environmental Systems” on May 11.  Her doctoral thesis includes a chapter written to communicate her work to non-scientists, as part of the Wisconsin Initiative for Science Literacy (WISL) Award for Communicating Ph.D. Research to the Public. Liz will soon be joining Argonne National Laboratory as a postdoctoral researcher. Congratulations, Dr. Laudadio!

CSN Students and Staff Win UW-Madison Chemistry Awards

Several CSN participants received recognition from the UW-Madison Department of Chemistry this Spring. Liz Laudadio (Hamers group, top left) was chosen for the John and Beverly Schrag Analytical Chemistry Outstanding Peer Award, which celebrates a grad student “committed to pursuing excellence in teaching/mentorship, leadership, scientific excellence, and community building.” Kelly Zhang (Hamers group, top middle) and Liz Laudadio each received a Michael W. McCoy Memorial Scholarship (for grad students who “exemplify a love of life, love of people, and love of chemistry”). Finally, Managing Director Mike Schwartz (far right) received a 2019 Graduate Student Faculty Liaison Committee (GSFLC) Mentor Award “to recognize graduate students, postdocs, and academic staff/faculty who have had a profound positive impact on the graduate students of… Read More »CSN Students and Staff Win UW-Madison Chemistry Awards
