Since Lisa’s first description of photoinitiated H2 evolution from a PSI-Pt biohybrid assembly in 2011, we have hypothesized that the Pt nanoparticles dock near the terminal electron acceptors in PSI, and now she has cryo-EM proof, published in November in … Read More »

The group had a great showing at this year’s Donor-Acceptor GRC in Newport, RI! Lin served as a co-chair and put together an exciting program, including Lisa who spoke in the session on Long Range Electron and Energy Transfer. Several … Read More »

A HUGE congratulations to Lin, who received the Senior Prize of the two 2023 Mildred Dresselhaus Guest Professorship Awards from the University of Hamburg, Germany! This award recognizes outstanding international women scientists and offers an opportunity for awardees to conduct … Read More »

Congratulations to Professor Sam Xie!! He recently left the group to start up his independent research group as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Florida Atlantic University. We will all miss Sam and his contributions to our research … Read More »

Lin is on a roll this summer… Lin is a co-investigator on a newly awarded program, “Photocatalyzed Degradation and Chemical Recycling of Polymers Using Visible Light Photo-oxidation Catalysts”, through the DOE FAIR (Funding for Accelerated, Inclusive Research) Initiative, which is … Read More »

Lin has been recognized as PSE’s Employee of the Month! This recognition acknowledges Lin’s commitment to Argonne’s Core Value of Impact, specifically for leading a large team whose recent work used ultrashort laser pulses to reveal the close relationship between electron … Read More »

Lin and her team have a new paper in Nature! This work reveals the interplay between the dynamics of electron spin and the vibrational dynamics of the nuclei in molecules on superfast time scales using ultrashort laser pulses (7 fs!) … Read More »
