As we prepare to gather with friends and family, in person or from afar, I extend to you a warm and Happy Thanksgiving from your Drexel family. Amid the hustle and bustle of the fall term, it is important we pause and make time for ourselves. I encourage you to take the long weekend to relax and unwind.
Best wishes for good health and joy.

CONGRATULATIONS
Yury Gogotsi, PhD, Distinguished University and Charles T. and Ruth M. Bach Professor of Materials Science and Engineering and Steven May, PhD, Department Head and Professor of Materials Science and Engineering received additional funding from the U.S. Department of Energy to continue work on a project entitled “Compositional Control of Fundamental Electronic and Magnetic Properties of Ordered Layered Multielemental MXenes.” This project aims to provide fundamental insights into the relationships between MXene chemistry and their electronic, optical, and magnetic properties and potentially enable new synthetic strategies for 2D materials.
Associate Professor of Civil, Architectural, and Environmental engineering Christopher Sales, PhD; Director of the C.J. Nyheim Plasma Institute and John A. Nyheim Chair Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Mechanics Alexander Fridman, PhD; and Associate Director of the C.J. Nyheim Plasma Institute Alexander Rabinovich, PhD are the recipients of funding from the Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP) for a project entitled “Application of non-thermal plasma technology for the removal of poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances from investigation-derived waste.” This project involves research into the development of non-thermal plasma treatment technologies to degrade a class of environmental contaminants called poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which is found on many US Department of Defense (DoD) sites primarily due to its use in fire-fighting foams.
