​2026

​

Congratulations to Dr. Stella Fors – the first PhD from the Malapit group!

​

Check out our latest publication on electrochemical degradation of PFAS

(in collaboration with the Dichtel group), out now in Angewandte Chemie.

Congrats, Stella and Emily!

​

Christian is recognized with the 2026 ACS DOC Academic Young Investigator Award

and the Thieme Chemistry Journal Award.

​

Postdoc Jake Evans will be joining as research scientist at IDA – Institute for Defense Analyses.​

Congrats, Jake!

​

We recently received a Trienen's-Q-Accelerator Grant to help bring our work in organic redox

battery from academic research to commercialization.

​

We welcome two undergraduate students, Mercy and Zach,

from the inaugural NU Scientist Program!

​

Christian gave a lecture in ACS DOC Virtual Symposium.

 

2025

​

Latest paper in mechanistic studies on waveform electrolysis for radical generation

out now in JACS. Congratulations to Jake, Enqi, Jessica, and Griffin.

​

Congratulations to Christian for being elected Member of the

Philippine-American Academy of Science and Engineering (PAASE).

​

Christian was recognized with 2025 Rising Star Award by PAASE.

His award lecture was given at the University of Southern Carolina this Fall.

​

Latest paper on electrochemical C–H amination out now in Nature Synthesis.

Congrats to Griffin, Eva, and Chris!

in electrochemical amination. Nature Synthesis highlight.

​​

Congratulations to our postdoc, Dr. Eva Alvarez who will be starting her career

as a tenure-track assistant professor of chemistry at University of Virginia this Fall.​

​

We welcome our new grad students Tegan Peiro and Ian Vanswearignen to the group!

​

Three undergrads from our lab are starting their PhD studies this Fall:

Chris Rapala (UC Berkeley), Henry Shavel (UCLA), and Ian Vanswearingen (Northwestern)

Check out our recent paper in ChemElectroChem on aryl radical generation from

organoboron reagents using waveform electrolysis. This was also recognized in

ChemElectroChem's "Electrochemistry Talents" special issue.

​

Check out our latest publication on carboxylation of olefins with CO2

via alternating polarity electrolysis in Angewandte Chemie. Congrats, Stella!

​

Check out the latests highlights from our work on organic flow batteries in

C&EN, Northwestern Now, and over 40 news articles. Congrats, Emily!
