Alexey Lipatov successfully defended his Ph.D. thesis “Layered Heterostructures Based on Two-Dimensional Materials: Interfacial Phenomena and Device Applications“. During his Ph.D. studies Alexey co-authored 12 papers, in seven of which he is the first author. The most important scientific contributions made by Alexey include the development of electronic-nose sensors based on graphene and graphene oxide, a series of studies on electronic devices comprising two-dimensional (2D) and ferroelectric materials, as well as the demonstration of electronic properties of an emerging 2D material, titanium trisulfide.
Congratulations, Dr. Lipatov!
Jacob Teeter is one of four Fall 2015 recipients of the Citation for Excellence in Teaching Chemistry Award!
He received this award for his patience and dedication to students’ overall learning and his endless efforts to keep them engage in General Chemistry 1 (Chem. 109) and General Chemistry 2 (Chem. 110) labs.
Congratulations, Jacob!

One completed a series of theoretical calculations to predict its properties with the help of a massive computing center. The other grew it in bulk before waxing its atom-thin whiskers with the assistance of adhesive tape.
Together, University of Nebraska-Lincoln chemists Xiao Cheng Zeng and Alexander Sinitskii have demonstrated that a compound called titanium trisulfide could surge toward the fore of two-dimensional materials that are gaining popularity among designers of microelectronics.

Graphene has garnered much attention for its potential to improve electronics, solar cells and other devices. A University of Nebraska-Lincoln chemist is using his breakthrough graphene production technique to put the promising nanomaterial to the test.
Alexander Sinitskii, assistant professor of chemistry, has earned a five-year, $538,477 Faculty Early Career Development Program Award from the National Science Foundation to investigate graphene’s properties. These prestigious grants, known as CAREER awards, support pre-tenure faculty who exemplify the role of teacher-scholars through outstanding research, excellent education and the integration of education and research.
