Beverly Sears Named Graduate Student Grants
Dean's Award
Derek LeFebre, School of Education
CURFA Carl Kisslinger Research Award
I'm originally from Pennsylvania and completed my undergraduate degree at McDaniel College in Westminster, Maryland. I love watching sports, particularly baseball. I'm also an avid reader and enjoy running in my spare time. My research is focused on exploring main group metals as emissive organometallic centers for technologies such as photovoltaics, OLEDs or photocatalysis. I'm investigating using bismuth instead of more expensive transition metals that are currently implemented in these technologies. I've been working on making bismuth organometallic complexes and studying their photophysical properties.
Ray Hauser Award
My research focuses on environmental history and political ecology in the Caribbean. My current project examines a series of hurricanes in Puerto Rico in the 1920s and 1930s and the environmental and political changes that followed. I'm specifically interested in natural hazard events, agriculture, land reform, and political movements.
