Rob is starting his first summer of research, rising to the challenge and learning new things. So far, his work is focused on synthesizing and analyzing tiopronin gold nanoparticles, attaching different molecules to the surface to enhance their properties and changing their charge. So far he has faced the unique challenge of working almost exclusively out of a 96 well plate, encouraging creativity to solve the challenges that arise. He is especially proud of a hand crafted manifold for the 96 well plate to ensure uniform evaporation from spare parts from around the lab. Going forwards, he hopes to make consistent and meaningful contributions to his project.
