Ruhlandt-Senge Receives NSF Special Creativity Award
Professor Karin Ruhlandt-Senge received a prestigious NSF special creativity award. This award entails the extension of her NSF funding for two additional years without the need to go through a competitive renewal. The focus of work will be alkaline earth metal chemistry, spanning from materials to bioinorganic applications.
