Collaborative research involving members of the Iski Research Group was recently published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS). The study, Probing the Role of Cooper Dislocation in Electrochemical CO2 Conversion, explores how structural features influence electrochemical performance and hilights the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration.

The Iski Research Group contributed to a newly funded NSF MRI award supporting acquisition of an X-ray Photoelectron Microscopy (XPS) platform for surface measurements in extreme and complex environments. The instrument will strengthen research capabilities across multiple disciplines at The University of Tulsa and create new opportunities for collaborative research.

The Iski Research Group is celebrating twelve years of participation in the CSURP and TURC programs. Over the years, these programs have provided students with hands-on research experience in surface chemistry, microscopy, nanoscience, and materials research while preparing them for future academic and professional opportunities.

This summer, the Iski Research Group welcomed students through CSURP, TURC, REU, and Junior TURC programs. Tessa, Jazmin, Tyler, Anna, and Libbie contributed to ongoing research projects involving surface chemistry, nanoscale characterization, and materials science while gaining hands-on laboratory experience.

Dr. Erin Iski continues to lead the Iski Research Group while serving as Chair of the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry at The University of Tulsa. In this leadership role, she supports departmental initiatives, faculty development, and student success while maintaining an active research program focused on surface chemistry and nanoscale phenomena.
