Combating climate change may involve building structures as large as stadiums with arrays of huge fans that suck in vast volumes of air to capture free-floating carbon dioxide before carbon-free air is released back into the atmosphere.
Please join us in congratulating graduate student Ashley Pimentel to receiving the Chairs DEI Award! This award is given to one UCR chemistry graduate student every year for their outstanding efforts in outreach and mentoring.
Jack F. Eichler, a professor in the Department of Chemistry for 14 years, was awarded the 2023-24 Distinguished Teaching Award. A nomination letter asserts Eichler “aims to foster an understanding of chemistry concepts while promoting student engagement and addressing real-world issues. To achieve these goals, he employs innovative teaching approaching, including active learning, problem-based case...
The nominee of the award must have outstanding theoretical and/or experimental accomplishments within the ten years preceding the year in which the award is made. Nominees can be from academia, government, or industry, and special consideration will be given to nominees currently engaged in an active scientific/technical career.

Research Corporation for Science Advancement, America's first foundation dedicated wholly to science, has named 19 early career scholars in chemistry, physics, and astronomy as recipients of its 2024 Cottrell Scholar Awards. Each awardee receives $120,000.
Bahamonde’s research involves asymmetric catalysis and developing processes based on ligand-metal cooperativity to facilitate the controlled formation of highly reactive species. Her project focuses on nickel/photoredox catalysis and creating new chemical bonds, solving challenging problems in organic synthesis. The project will include high school student summer research internships and outreach programs aimed at narrowing the...
“Mitochondrial DNA is less studied, even though it has been linked to cancer, aging, and these mitochondrial diseases which can affect every aspect of the body,” said Linlin Zhao, an assistant professor of chemistry at UC Riverside.
Last year, UC Riverside scientists Shane Cybart and Ludwig Bartels and colleagues at UC Irvine received $5 million from the U.S. Department of Energy, or DOE, to team up with Sandia National Laboratory in Albuquerque, New Mexico, in building a diverse educational pipeline in the field of microelectronics. Developing expertise and infrastructure in this field...
In recognition of his long-term commitment to and tremendous impact on students, the American Chemical Society, or ACS, selected UCR Chemistry Professor Jingsong Zhang for their Outstanding Project SEED Mentor Award.
Scientists at UC Riverside and UC Irvine have received funding of $5 million from the U.S. Department of Energy, or DOE, to team up with Sandia National Laboratory in Albuquerque, New Mexico, in building a diverse educational pipeline in the field of microelectronics — a priority for industry and government. Of this amount, nearly $4...
