Received a 4-yr, $600K Award from #NSF: Improving Interfacial- & Confined State-Ionic Conductivity via Manipulating Interfacial Chemistry & New Design of Ionomers. This will support my research in #electrochemical #energy devices, & my mission to advance energy literacy in #Nebraska. #polymersky

Received the Best Overall Zone Paper Award at 2025 American Soc. for #Engineering #Education #ASEE Annual Meeting! Summarizing ~9 yrs of work in 5 min wasn’t easy, but hearing such kind words from the community, especially as someone outside traditional education research, was humbling! #polymersky

My itinerary at the American Society for Engineering Education (#2025ASEE) Annual Meeting. I'll give a talk & moderate a session on Mon, then receive the Best Overall Zone Paper Award on Tues Plenary for #NSFfunded energy literacy study in Nebraska. ‪‪@unlincoln.bsky.social‬ ‪@asee-hq.bsky.social‬

UNL Chem. & Biomol. Eng is rocking the 2025 Natl Science Olympiad hosted by UNL! We hv a live distillation column by my team, designs by our CHEMECar & ChemECube teams, & more! If you’re around, swing by our booth to learn abt one of the coolest branches of Eng! #polymersky @unlincoln.bsky.social‬

Thnks to Ratul Chowdhury for inviting me for the L. K. Doraiswamy Seminar at the Iowa State University ChBE & making my visit so memorable! Thoroughly enjoyed the engaging conversations & vibrant atmosphere. #polymersky #energy #sustainable @unlincoln.bsky.social @iastateresearch.bsky.social

Off to San Diego for ACS Meeting. Giving 2 invited talks (NSF & DOE-funded) on #sustainable, bio-derived & nature-inspired #polymers & #membranes for #energy & biomedical applications! @acspmse.bsky.social #polymersky @unlincoln.bsky.social @acspoly.bsky.social @acs.org

Neb. EPSCoR featured me for receiving 2024 American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) Midwest Outstanding Teaching Award, Best Paper Awards 2 years in a row (2023,2024),NSF-funded energy literacy infrastructure study, & energy education efforts creating ripple effect in Midwest! #polymersky

We r featured at ACS #Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering!

Stress buster!! Painting with my son and his posca markers!! Reminds me of my college days when I used to design my own dresses with similar motifs!!! #worklifebalance #academicmom #mofessor

Thank you, Nebraska Center for Energy Science Research (NCESR), for featuring me in the inaugural Director's Corner of the Energy Center Chronicles!
