Société de Chimie Industrielle is proud to support the next generation of innovators by funding undergraduate research at Columbia University.

 

On Wednesday, July 30th, Columbia chemistry students Sophie Kloppenburg, Love Patel, and Ian Segall presented their research at the Chemistry Department’s Summer Research Symposium, held on the Morningside Heights campus, and organized by Undergraduate Studies Director Vesna Gasperov.

 

  • Sophie Kloppenburg shared insights into the post-synthetic symmetry tuning of 2D transition metal oxyhalides.
  • Love Patel explored hydride transfer mechanisms in newly synthesized ruthenium compounds.
  • Ian Segall investigated the use of carboxymethyl cellulose as a sustainable binder in lithium iron phosphate battery cathodes.

 

It was inspiring to see these passionate undergraduates apply their skills to real-world challenges in chemical synthesis, energy storage, and materials science.

 

As a nonprofit organization, Société de Chimie Industrielle is committed to supporting students through scholarships, research funding, career fairs, and networking events. Our monthly meetings also feature expert speakers on topics relevant to the chemistry and biotech communities—providing valuable opportunities for students, members, and guests to learn, connect, and collaborate.
