In 1993 Dr. A. Kholodenko published paper entitled Analytical Calculation of the Scattering Function for Polymers of Arbitrary Flexibility Using the Dirac Propagator (Macromolecules 26 (1993) 4179), which had become so popular that it found its place in wikipedia .

Latest confirmation of the popularity of Kholodenko’s results is the paper published in Science (Advances), where Figure 11 of this paper -central for the whole investigation done in the Science Advances paper- displays Kholodenko’s results (ref.65) in the context of conformational properties of melts of polymer brushes. Fig.11 provides yet another excellent confirmation of correctness of the Kholodenko Worm model of semiflexible polymer chains. Congratulations again!

Professor Carlos D. Garcia was recently named Associate Editor for Analytical section of the journal RSC Advances. RSC Advances is an international, peer-reviewed journal covering all of the chemical sciences, including multidisciplinary and emerging areas. The criteria for publication are that the work must be high quality, well conducted and advance the development of the field. This is a huge honor and clearly advances the reputation of the Department. Congrats Carlos!

In summer 2017, the department of chemistry at Clemson university will host the NSF-funded REU (Research Experience for Undergraduates) program. The program will provide undergraduate students with motivating research experience and empower them with the necessary professional development that would help them while pursuing their future careers in natural sciences. The program consists of an intense ten-week summer program where students will select a research group and will be assigned different projects under the supervision of our chemistry faculty members. In addition to research opportunity, students will partake in number of professional workshops to enhance their communication skills and learn to conduct themselves ethically and with integrity in their research work as well as social activities to encourage students to get to know each other and the Clemson community. Acceptance to Clemson Chemistry REU program will be granted to applicants who would demonstrate high potential for performing productive research. Upon acceptance, students will be granted stipends, in addition to assistance for housing and travel expenses. Visit our web site to apply http://www.clemson.edu/chemistry/reu

This REU Program also complements other summer programs in the Department supporting International Research activities for our students https://chemistry.sites.clemson.edu/garcia/ires.html
