The Lehnert Group, July 2024
Postdoctoral Fellows
|
Dr. Elizabeth Manickas
|
2019 - 2024
|
Ph.D. at the University of Michigan
with Prof. Nicolai Lehnert
|
July 2024 - present
|
Postdoctoral Fellow in the Meyerhoff and Lehnert groups
|
Research Project
|
Development of NO-Releasing Catheters and New Approached for NO Generation for NO Inhalation Therapy
New materials and enzyme coatings will be used to develop NO-releasing catheters that function in the presence of dioxygen. In addition, new
instrumentation for advanced NO inhalation therapy will be developed. This technology is based on our electrochemical NO generation (E-NOgen) method
that was previously invented in the Meyerhoff laboratory.

Dr. Nabhendu Pal
|
2014 - 2020
|
Ph.D. at the Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science, Kolkata, India
with Prof. Amit Majumdar
|
2021 - 2024
|
Postdoc at the University of Minnesota
with Prof. Larry Que, Jr.
|
July 2024 - present
|
Postdoctoral Fellow in the Lehnert group
|
Research Project
|
Synthesis, Spectrosocpic and Electrochemical Studies on Copper Complexes for Nitrite Reduction
New ligand scaffolds will be developed to create copper complexes that are capable of electrochemical nitrite reduction in the presence of
dioxygen. This goal will be accomplished by both redox-tuning of the complexes and the application of second coordination sphere effects.
