We had the pleasure of handling a lab move for Tom Mallouk from Penn State to the University of Pennsylvania.
This lab relocation included packing & crating of sensitive equipment, relocation of minus 80 and minus 20 freezers plugged in during transit, and chemical packing/relocation. Please see some notes below from Tom to find out what his research entails. Another successful lab relocation is in the books!
What does Tom research?
“We are a synthetic chemistry research group that develops new kinds of nanomaterials for different applications. One of our focus areas is energy conversion (solar energy conversion, fuel cells, lithium batteries, and electrolyzers), and another is microrobotics. We also work on the physics of nanomaterials, i.e., what happens to conventional superconductors, semiconductors, or magnetic materials when we make the particles very small or lower their dimensionality (i.e., if we make them in the form of nanowires or nanosheets vs. bulk materials).”
