Juliet M. Hahn, Ph.D., Assistant Professor (tenure
track)
Organic Chemistry, Bio-organic
Chemistry, Stereoselective Synthesis, NMR
Spectroscopy
I am working on four research
projects as principal investigator. One of my
projects is an investigation of the [2+2]
photodimerization of sunlight induced cancer of
a derivative of thymine. This reaction is
believed to be the primary mode of sun damage of
DNA resulting in skin cancer. Another of my
projects is synthetic methodology in the
stereoselective synthesis of heterocyclic amines
of potential pharmaceuticals, in particular the
tropane system. Tropanes consist of some 200
natural products, one of which is cocaine. This
project consists of two parts: heterocyclic
amine synthesis and organoaluminum catalysis.
Another of my projects is functionalization
of carbon nanotubes using DNA bases.
This project has potential applications in
developing new electronic materials and in drug
delivery. (Please refer to my website

The
Synthesis, Characterization and
Applications Testing of
Heteropolyoxometalate Compounds
Heteropoly electrolytes are members of a very
large class of polynuclear oxo complexes
“isopoly and heteropoly anions” of the
transition metals of groups V and VI, especially
molybdenum, tungsten and vanadium. The
polymerization of vanadate, molybdate and
tungstate ions to form isopoly anions (and
heteropoly anions in the presence of heteroatoms)
has received a great deal of attention because
of the importance of these compounds as models
for electron-transfer mechanisms, as
colorimetric reagents in analytical procedures,
as industrial catalysts and, more recently,
because of their potential clinical
applications.

Cherese Winstead,Ph.D., Assistant
Professor
My
research interests lie within the chemistry of
biopolymers, their physical traits as well as
methods for characterizing them. Of particular
interest is the synthesis and exploration of
sustainable, renewable resources for biopolymers
as well as the variations in their chemical
structures. We focus on the relationship between
structure and polymer characteristics. Our
research group is also centered on the discovery
and synthesis of microencapsulation techniques
and drug delivery systems based upon
biomaterials and the various physicochemical
mechanism(s) to achieve the desired delivery,
particularly from those candidates that are
abundant and sustainable. Several
microencapsulation procedures are of interest to
develop nanoscale delivery systems targeted to
increasing the bioavailability of selected
components and to manipulate release profiles of
bioactive compounds.

Bizunech Workie,
Ph.D., Associate Professor
My research interest lies in the area of
electrochemistry. Presently, I am engaged on a
research project in Fuel Cell Recycling
Technology Development. In the project, I have
developed a simple electrochemical procedure to
evaluate the performance of catalysts supported
on carbon such as Pt/C, Pd/C, and Ru/C, and the
method may have practical applications in
Hydrogen Fuel Cell industries and other
laboratories. My other current research projects
include non-aqueous electrophoretic deposition
of aluminum nitride, and electrodeposition
studies on heteropolymetallic complexes and
palladium nanoparticles
