Congratulations to Yue on finishing her data meeting! She’s one step closer to earning her Ph.D.!

Congratulations to Devin Makey for successfully defending his graduate thesis! Devin was working on improving separations using ion mobility and was co-advised by Bob and Brandon Ruotolo. We wish him luck as he begins work at Merck!

Congratulations to Max Unger for passing his gateway exam!

Congratulations to Thomas White, who successfully defended his doctoral thesis! Thomas did great work microfabricating push-pull probes for in vivo analysis including developing a more flexible probe for long-term implantation. We wish him luck and success as he moves onto his next step in his career!

We are excited to announce that three new PhD students joined the Kennedy lab during the 2020-2021 academic year! Bridget Murray joins us from the University of Pittsburgh, and will be working on team high-throughput experimentation. Joe Naese joins us from Rowan University, where he worked with Kennedy lab alum Prof. Jim Grinias. Joe will

We congratulate our group members for receiving offers and honorable mentions from the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship Program. Joshua Jones (incoming class of 2018) was awarded this prestigious fellowship for his proposed work in using liquid chromatography for the discovery of unique nucleosides. Josh performs this work between both the Kennedy and Koutmou groups. Additionally,

The Kennedy Lab had the pleasure of hosting John Hena, a visiting scholar from Liberia, for the last six months. John was part of the University of Michigan African Presidential Scholars (UMAPS) program, where scholars across the academic spectrum have the opportunity to come to the university to expand upon their research at their home universities.

Recently, work from the Kennedy Lab was featured in Chemical & Engineering News. The paper, published in the German journal Angewandte Chemie, highlighted technology enabling mass directed droplet sorting. The C&EN article has input from Dr. Jeff Moore at Merck & co., Professor Kennedy, and Professor Brian Paegel from the University of California, Irvine. Additionally, the paper was

Over the past few months, we celebrated the defenses of a number of Kennedy lab members. In August, Dr. Daniel Steyer defended his thesis entitled “Electrospray and Nanoelectrospray Ionization-Mass Spectrometry Systems for the High- Throughput Analysis of Microfluidic Droplets.” Since August, Dr. Steyer has started as a post doctoral researcher at Florida State University with Professor
