Check out Dr. Yibing Zhu, Ph.D. third research paper published this year alone, it is an incredibly interesting read on the properties of donor doped Strontium titanate via the density functional theory and powering through Covid-19, congratulations Dr. Yibing Zhu, Ph.D.!

Paper Publication Alert! Mr RAHAT GUPTA, PhD scholar supervised by Dr Amlan Pal, publishes a paper, "Implication of Carbohydrazide Chemosensors in Selective Sensing of Fe(III) and Construction of Molecular Devices," in the Journal of Molecular Structure.

Another excellent publication from my time at the University of Alberta with Dr. Mohtada Sadrzadeh! This work represents the final chapter of Dr. Sadegh Aghapour Aktij's fruitful dissertation. In this study, we explored innovative surface chemistry for polyamide membranes designed for power generation through pressure-retarded osmosis (PRO). Notably, this work is the first to report a life cycle assessment of polyamide membranes. A big shoutout to all the co-authors who contributed to this research! Here’s the link to the publication: https://lnkd.in/exFDf4Xs Sadegh Aghapour Aktij, Mostafa Dadashi Firouzjaei, Mohsen Pilevar, Asad Asad, Ahmad Rahimpour, Mark Elliott, João B.P. Soares, Mohtada Sadrzadeh

I'm thrilled to share my first 1st author publication from my Ph.D.! In this study, we investigate thermal and ionic transport in Cu+-ionic conductors. As the temperature rises, ionic conductivity increases notably, while thermal conductivity remains relatively constant. Analyses of the Cu+ ion diffusion pathways and changes in activation energy between phases confirm a significant effect on ion transport, but not on thermal transport, indicating no direct correlation between the two. This absence of direct influence suggests innovative design strategies in thermoelectric applications to enhance stability by diminishing ionic conduction, while maintaining low thermal conductivity, thereby linking the domains of solid-state ionics and thermoelectrics.

Alhamdulillah! My third Q1 in this year 2024! One of our research articles, "Finite element analysis of a generalized rotating FGM vessel subjected to thermo-mechanical loadings: Effect of Poisson ratio and inhomogeneity parameters," published in Heliyon (Q1, Impact Factor: 4) by Elsevier. All credit goes to Palash Das who is a great researcher and shining like a star already. One day he will become a prominent professor in his field.

Who is this 1923 chemistry laureate arriving in Stockholm? The answer is Fritz Pregl, who received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1923 for his work on the development of micro-analytical methods. His work revolutionised the field of micro-analysis and allowed for the precise measurement of very small amounts of a substance. It laid the foundation for the development of modern analytical chemistry and has many applications in chemistry and biology, including in the study of metabolism and fermentation.

No matter how many papers you publish, the thrill of publishing a new one never fades!! Excited to share my latest research findings published in the journal #Biosensors! In this study, we demonstrate how the #migration order of microparticles in an insulator-based electrokinetic (EK) system changes by switching the #electrokinetic regime from linear to nonlinear.

Among periodic planar lattices, kagome offers remarkable fracture toughness. The last paper of my PhD study revealed a demi-regular lattice as tough as kagome. Crack tip blunting in these planar lattices leads to high fracture toughness. However, it was unclear what feature makes crack tip blunting. Our analysis showed that kagome and the new demi-regular lattice both have infinite periodic mechanisms. The presence of crack intrigues these periodic mechanisms, which cause crack tip blunting. I believe this is a big step toward tailoring materials with high fracture toughness. This paper was published in the journal Scripta Materialia: https://lnkd.in/dXqW9y6p Special thanks to my supervisor, Luc St-Pierre, for his significant contribution to this study. Also, I appreciate the instructive reviewer’s comment, which increased the quality of this paper to a new level 😊.
