Bianca Ramirez successfully defended her PhD thesis on "Tuning Nickel Electronics and Hydrogenation Reactivity via Dative Bonds with Rare Earth Metalloligands."
Bianca will join Jaqueline Kiplinger's research group at Los Alamos National Laboratory as a post-doctoral researcher.
After the Zoom defense, the group and friends gathered for an outdoor physically distanced barbecue with a strawberry cake made by Samantha.
