Together, they studied the application of algal biochar to prevent heavy metal leachates from mine tailings.

Congratulations to the Ackerman-Biegasiewicz group and the Gomes group on their Collaborative Scialog Award!
Congratulations to the Ackerman-Biegasiewicz group and the Gomes group on their Collaborative Scialog Award!

At the 2024 Scialog Meeting on "Automating Chemical Laboratories" Prof. Ackerman-Biegasiewicz and Prof. Gomes came together to discuss a data-driven approach for derisking chemical synthesis. Their groups were awarded a Collaborative Award from the Research Corporation for Science Advancement (RCSA). Graduate students Andy Tran, Hannah Ford, and Sneha Nayak will…
