Funded by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research and published in PNAS, Purdue Researchers have discovered a fundamentally new way of charge transport in organic carbon-based materials.

Rajamani Gounder, R. Norris and Eleanor Shreve Professor in the Davidson School of Chemical Engineering at Purdue University, has recently been selected as an Associate Editor of the Reaction Chemistry & Engineering Editorial Board.

Iglesia joins Purdue from the University of California, Berkeley, where he is a distinguished professor emeritus and the Theodore Vermeulen Chair Emeritus in chemical engineering. He is one of the world’s most celebrated researchers in heterogeneous catalysis and chemical reaction engineering.

Engineering names first recipients of TRACER grants, to be used for research experiences at globally prominent research institutions.

A team of researchers including Jee Yung Park and Dr. Letian Dou, have shown they can control the energy levels of electrons and holes (positive charge carriers) within a class of materials called perovskites.
