DNI STAR Students Shine at STAR Summer Showcase

Undergraduate STAR students in our group had the opportunity to present their MXene research at the STAR Summer Showcase on Drexel’s campus on Thursday, August 31. Prastuti (mentor Stefano Ippolito) presented her research titled, “Fast Gelation of MXene Induced by Metal Ions”, Jaxon (mentor John Wang) presented his research titled, “Optimization of In Situ Cell to Observe Effects of MXene as a Current Collector in Anode-Free Lithium Metal Batteries”, and Favour (mentor Yuan Zhang) presented his research titled, “Maximizing the specific capacitance of MXene by pre-intercalating with cation for water desalination”.  

Congratulations to our STARs!

Summer Interns

DNI was honored to host three high school interns this summer!  

These impressive teens, Faraz, Carnegie, and Alejandro joined us from July 5-August 4 for an intensive internship working alongside PhD students Eliot Precetti, Roman Rakhmanov, and Jamie FitzPatrick.  

Faraz and Eliot studied MXene in silkworms in an effort to create MXene silk threads, Carnegie and Jamie worked to look at what happens when MXene is fed to plants (with a special crossover experiment with Faraz and Eliot!), and Alejandro and Roman investigated conductivity of MXene for RFID applications.  

Congratulations to Faraz, Carnegie, and Alejandro on the completion of their internships!
