Kai Landskron Fall 2015

presented a talk, “Supercapacitive Swing Adsorption of Carbon Dioxide” at a Green Chemistry Conference and he presented a poster on “High-Pressure Chemistry with Mesoporous Boron Nitride” at the North East Corridor Zeolite Association Conference, the COMPRES annual meeting, and the Gordon Conference on Nanoporous Materials. Landskron co-authored “Mechanical and hydrothermal stability of mesoporous materials at extreme conditions” and “Synthesis of mesostructued stishovite from FDU-12/carbon composite” in Microporous & Mesoporous Mats. Landskron co-authored with Berenika Kokoszka (PhD 2015) and Nina Jarrah (PhD 2015) et. al. “Supercapacitive Swing Adsorption of Carbon Dioxide” in Angewandte Chemie, International ed. Landskron also co -authored “Size tunable synthesis of solution processable diamond nanocrystals” in Chem. Comm. Landskron spearheaded a new concept to raise money for research from personal donations. Landskron created his model because the current funding mechanisms for research are not sufficient. This new fundraising model was featured in the April 9, 2015 Lifestyle section of the Brown and White written by Kayla Lash. In addition, it was covered by the Huffington Post on April 7, 2015 in an article written by Sam Stein, as well as the Nature magazine on June 10, 2015 in an interview conducted by Virginia Gewin. For a minimum of $10, the donor receives a “Dinner-and-a-Movie” discount card worth more than $10. The card is valid for one year and may be used at over 100,000 locations.
