CSiDIR Kicks off the Summer with a Seminar and Happy Hour
Goldsmith Group Postdoc Bolton Tran kicked off this year’s Student and Postdoc Seminar Series with an excellent presentation entitle “Grand Canonical DFT for Modeling Electrochemical CO Reduction”. Afterwards, attendees headed to Rappourt for happy hour. (Like on Twitter!)

CSiDIR Members Attend the American Physics Society March Meeting
Graduate students and faculty from both the Glotzer and Lindsey group attended this year’s American Physics Society meeting in Minneapolis Minnesota and had the opportunity to present their research through oral research talks and poster presentations. Congratulations to those who had the opportunity to attend!

Christina Rice’s Waxy-oil Gelation Study is Published in the Journal of Rheology
Christina (Larson Lab) and Conor (Larson Lab alumnus), along with collaborators Dr. Shetty, Dr. Mahir, and Professor Larson, published a journal article titled: Precipitated wax content and yield stress of model wax-oil mixtures determined by arrest of flow during cooling at fixed stress. The paper was published in the Journal of Rheology and explores the impact of parameters such as wax composition and cooling rate on waxy oil gelation. This work can be applied to flow assurance in oil pipelines and gives insights useful for model development going forward. Congratulations, Christina!
