Five RASEI Fellows awarded the Highly Cited Researcher designation by Clarivate.

Each year Clarivate analyzes the citations of articles from researchers from across the sciences. From this analysis Clarivate highlights the researchers who have authored multiple highly cited papers which rank in the top 1% by citations for their field(s) and publication year in the Web of Science over the past decade.

This year five RASEI Fellows featured in the 2024 Highly Cited Researcher list, which includes 6,886 researchers. This year Matt Beard, Joe Berry, Joey Luther, Mike McGehee and Mike Toney were selected. For Matt, Mike and Joey, this is the fifth year in the row, the fourth year in a row for Joe Berry and the third year in a row for Mike Toney.

Congratulation to everyone for the recognition of the impact of their research.

In November of 2024 RASEI hosted the 2024 TEAM PV Consortium meeting. This event brought together researchers from 欧美口爆视频 Boulder, NREL, Humboldt University and Hemholtz-Zentrum Berlin. 

The goals of this workshop was to develop nascent collaborative connections, discuss the best practices for collecting, sharing, and analyzing data around the parametrization of perovskites. 

RASEI Fellows Steve Barlow, Joe Berry, Seth Marder, Mike McGehee, Laura Schelhas, and Mike Toney participated in the event that included many students and researchers both from 欧美口爆视频 and Germany.

In early October of 2024, RASEI hosted the kickoff workshop for POSE, a new community being brought together to address some of the most critical challenges we face to do with plastics and polymers.

Polymer Solutions for the Environment, or POSE, seeks to establish a Center that will bring together expertise around the development of a circular polymer economy.

Plastics and polymers are critical materials in the modern age, forming the building blocks of everything from electronics to packaging, but this versatility comes with a cost, namely the waste and infiltration of the environment by microplastics.

This workshop brought together thought leaders in the polymer sector, from a cross section of academic, national lab and industrial organizations. The goal was to explore how best the POSE community can build a program that complements existing efforts in the field to drive the science and policy forward.

Three areas of focus were discussed, including the development of a circular polymer economy, the development of polymers that are needed for a just clean energy transition, and the integration of the science and technology research with policy, economics and social sciences.

It was a great meeting with more than 60 participants who came together to discuss ideas, present their research and approaches, and help shape the goals and directions of this nascent community.
