We’ve got two new members joining us in Summer! Juliana Perri is an undergraduate at Mines, and Gwen Gutierrez is a high school intern from Green Mountain High School. Welcome to the team!

The Cash Lab has two new members! Adrian Mendonsa (PhD student in Chemical and Biological Engineering) and Sydney Isbell (BS student in Chemical and Biological Engineering). Welcome to the team!

We’ve got a new lab recruiting video to help explain the lab for potential new students! Thanks Cecilia for all the hard work making it!

Excited that our most recent publication is out in Sensors and Actuators B! In collaboration with the Panthani group at Iowa State, we developed sodium selective nanosensors based on silicon nanocrystals – having NIR fluorescence and excellent optical properties with a great response to sodium!

Thanks to all of the incredible work by my research group who are the ones who actually do the research!

The Cash Lab has two new grad students joining the group!

Sam Saccomano is a M.S. Student in Chemical and Biological Engineering working on antibiotic testing nanosensors, and Tyler Sodia is a Ph.D. Student in Quantitative Biosciences and Engineering working on studying cross feeding in environmental microbes.  Welcome to the group!

Welcome to the lab Pilar and Alexa!

Mark’s and Makayla’s paper on enzyme linked nanosensors was published in AIChE Journal!  Congrats Mark & Makayla!
