Congratulations Dr. Bathena!
Tanmayi defended her dissertation on the dynamic redox properties of bismuth molybdate propylene oxidation catalysts. Congratulations! Looking forward to more great work from you at PNNL!

We are very happy to see this published! Scott's work on upcycling PVC to high-value waxes was accepted at Applied Catalysis B. This is a very promising methodology to prevent end-of-life PVC from being landfilled, converting PVC instead to a wax that can be used as an adhesive. Many thanks to VentureWell, the Vinyl Institute and the Oregon State Advantage Accelerator for funding! Also grateful to our collaborators, the teams of Dr. Wildenschild at OSU and Dr. Boudouris at Purdue!
Congratulations Dr. Kristy!
Stephen successfully defended his dissertation: "Investigations of catalytic CO oxidation: effects of alloying copper and palladium"! Congratulations! We are looking forward to seeing your research achievements at Idaho Nat'l Lab!
Migrant Engineering Summer Camp
Kostas led a session at the Oregon State University Migrant Engineering Summer Camp. We talked about dyes and pigments and how paints are produced. We also made some Egyptian Blue!
