Tristan, Avery, Islam and Fabio headed to QOMSBOC to present their research and network with others in the academia and industry.
The group braved the wind and cold to go to the pumpkin patch for our “annual” adventure.
Fabio Cuzzucoli has joined the group as an NSERC PGS-M Master’s student. He is working on new fluorination methods.
Welcome to the group!
The summer students have all flown the coop. Thank you to Prachi, Cassio and Zoltan for all you hard work. It was fun having you in the lab, and best of luck in your future studies.
Congratulations to Tristan, Islam and Shafa on your paper in ACIE. This is the first example of using blue LEDs to initiate carbene-like chemistry with iodonium ylides, and it is wonderful work.
Of course, we could not have done it without the help of our colleagues Dr. Scott Hopkins (computations) and the UBordeaux team (Dr. Stephane Quideau, Dr. Laurent Pouysegu and Dr. Philippe Peixoto.
After 2.5 years, Leanne has moved on to a lecturer and lab instructor position within UWaterloo. She was more than just a great postdoc, she was a tremendous mentor and a great example of a well-rounded chemist. While she will be a valuable addition to the Chemistry Department at Waterloo, she will be sorely missed in the group.
All the best, and don’t be a stranger!
Zhao and Kevin's paper on denitrogenative hydrotrifluoromethylation of benzaldehyde hydrazones is published in Chemistry - A European Journal. Congratulations!
Kevin and Avery went to the 37th annual Chemistry Graduate Student Symposium (GSS) in Buffalo, NY. They are the first Murphy Group members to attend this conference.
Congrats on the talk (Avery) and poster (Kevin)!
Congratulations to Tristan Chidley and Islam Jameel!
This award acknowledges the outstanding efforts and achievements of the award winners. The very positive attitude and teaching skills of these individuals have considerable impact on enhancing the reputation of our undergraduate programs.
Well done, both of you!
This summer, we will be hosting three new summer students in the Murphy Group.
Zoltan Richter-Bisson joins the group as an NSERC USRA summer student.
Ms. Prachi Gupta (India) joins the lab as a 2019 MITACS Globalink Research Intern.
Mr. Cássio Pires Lucato (Brazil) joins the lab as a 2019 MITACS Globalink Research Intern.
Welcome to the group, all of you!
