Reports: UR451677-UR4: Electron Driven Formation of Aromatic and Nonaromatic Substituted Isocyanurates and Isocyanuratocyclophanes from Isocyanates
Steven J. Peters, PhD, Illinois State University
Impact on my Students The research going being conducted has had a significant positive impact on my students. Mark Servos (B.S. May 2014) was awarded a prestigious internship at Argonne National Laboratory this past summer due in part to his contribution on the aryl isocyanurate project. He is now a MS graduate student in our department and will continue working with me. Two of my other students will graduate in December 2014 and both are making plans to enter into graduate programs.
Impact on my Career This past year, I was awarded a sabbatical leave for the spring 2015 semester. This leave will give me additional time to complete and submit manuscripts for publication on many of the projects outlined in this ACS-PRF grant. Notably, the contributions made during this sabbatical will greatly enhance my research portfolio as I plan to go for promotion to full professor in fall 2015.
