	Mark Roll email: mroll@umich.edu Material Science I am currently working on the symmetric halogenation and subsequent derivitization of octaphenylsilsesquioxane (OPS). OPS is a highly stable nanoscopic molecule which may be modified through typical organic reactions on the aryl rings while retaining its silica core which imparts high thermal and mechanical stability. Our goal is to use ...more>>
	Santy Sulaiman email: ssulaima@umich.edu room: 2076 HH Dow Chemical Engineering I am currently working on the functionalizations of octameric vinylsilsesquioxanes (T8Vi8) to produce organic light-emitting materials. This work includes synthesis of various chemical compounds via metathesis, Heck, and Diels-Alder reactions, and study of their light absorption and emission behavior. I am also involved in two projects aimed at optimizing the ...more>>
