It has been a good couple of months for UVA Chemistry graduate student Bukuru Anaclet. In March it was announced he had been awarded a GEM fellowship from the National GEM Consortium which includes an internship with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. Then, in April, he learned he was being awarded a Graduate Research Fellowship from the National Science Foundation.
It was announced today that Prof. Zhang has been named a 2022 Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Fellow. Congratulations!
Dr. Zhang received 2021 CAPA Distinguished Junior Faculty Award (https://www.capachembiol.org/).
Prof. Zhang received University of Virginia Research Excellent Award! Congratulations!!
Our Team selected for Scialog Collaborative Innovation Award: Negative Emissions Science!!
Welcome Bukuru and Tangi to join our group! Glad to have you.
Our team has been awarded a NSF CAREER award to study multi-interface nanocrystal electrocatalyst. Thanks to @NSF CHE Cat for supporting our research and education effort. Very thankful to my team, my mentors & my collaborators. A great gift for the New Year!
UVA Today highlighted Chang’s MRS Graduate Student Award! Congradulatons to Chang.
Tangi is from Richmond Virginia, but his family immigrated from the pacific island of Tonga. He attended Virginia Commonwealth University for undergrad. He is pursuing a PhD in chemistry and interested in the field of inorganic chemistry and clean energy applications. He enjoys road trips, trying new restaurants and weight lifting. His favorite food is sushi or a good steak.
Bukuru was born in Tanzania and grew up in Chicago, Illinois. He graduated from Pomona College in 2021 with a B.A in Chemistry and a minor in Mathematics. While at Pomona, he conducted research with Pierre Darancet at Northwestern University Materials Research Science and Engineering Center on functionalization of two-dimensional materials. He then joined the Zhang group in 2021 as a GEM and NSF graduate research Fellow. His current research is focused on polymer upcycling into value-added products and the thermocatalytic reduction of CO2.
