openings for graduate students

The MAO group has two openings for motivated graduate students. Please contact Prof. Mao for details.

new journal publication

A new article:
Facile Molten Salt Synthesis of Double Perovskite La2BMnO6 Nanoparticles,
RSC Adv., 2012, 2 (33), 12675 - 12678

Postdoc postion for DARPA project

A Postdoctoral research position is currently available for a DARPA project. The research will focus on the development of scalable, alternate synthetic pathways, e.g. supercritical crystal growth, templated growth, and hydrothermal synthesis, for extended phases of CO2 amenable at ambient conditions, and the investigation of their novel properties.

Please respond with a CV and three names of reference to Professor Mao, Department of Chemistry, University of Texas-Pan American, Edinburg, TX 78539. E-mail address: maoy at utpa dot edu.

DARPA project

Congrats! The MAO group and two other PIs have teamed up for an over $3M DARPA project to develop novel high energy density forms of extended low-Z solids, amenable to scale-up synthesis and stabilization at ambient conditions.

Welcome, new students: 1 graduate and 3 UGs!

One graduate student, two freshmen and one junior joined the MAO group and started to get their hands wet on fascinating research projects!

GRC-Solid State Chemistry

In late July, Dr. Mao attended the Gordon Research Conference-Solid State Chemistry held at Colby-Sawyer College.

Welcome and congrats, Dorothy!

Dorothy joined the group as a member of the UTPA'S CE-STEM research program this October. The Center of Excellence in STEM Education (CE-STEM) is funded by the Office of the Secretary of Defense through the Army Research Office and managed by the Office of Naval Research and supported by The University of Texas-Pan American.
