Link up with Prof. Rappe today at College Green for the 60 Sec Lecture. Might be a good chance to chat!
🎉 Shoutout to our very own Drew for being crowned June's Person of the Month! Your hard work keeps the science (and the vibes) strong 💪🔬
Congratulations to our former group member @_SayanBanerjee on his new role! Sayan remains a friend of the group and is a great scientist—any grad or postdoc interested in theoretical chemistry or materials science would be lucky to work with him.
Excited to share that I’ll be joining the University of Tennessee Knoxville as an assistant professor this fall! I’ll be looking for grad students and postdocs—if you’re into theoretical chemistry or materials science, feel free to reach out ([email protected])
🎉 Exciting news! Current group member Peter Bazianos and former member and collaborator Andreas Ghosh have been awarded 2025 NSF GRFP fellowships. Congrats to both on this incredible honor! 👏 web.sas.upenn.edu/rappe-lab/…

Ferroelectric hafnia is exciting. Other phases less so. We-7❗️groups working together as part of @doescience 3DFEM EFRC-found FTIR can differentiate them.

New work from @TheRappeGroup!
.@e2MDL and colleagues @illinoistech @PennChemistry @MIE_UIC use ionomer-coated imidazolium-functionalised Mo3P nanoparticles to produce propane electrocatalytically from CO2 with high activity and selectivity. go.nature.com/3Qdysq7

Out now in @Joule_CP : our comprehensive study of dynamic local order in MAPB and MAPI in which we find that these compounds are cubic on the streets, but tetragonal in the sheets! doi.org/10.1016/j.joule.2023…
