Introducing our most recent ACS Island Resident Chemist, Professor Olivia Graeve (Lucia Sablatnig in-world)
Olivia is an assistant professor of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Nevada, Reno, where she heads the Nanomaterials Processing Laboratory. Her area of research is broadly described as the synthesis and processing of nanostructured materials, including ceramic and metallic nanomaterials, and amorphous/nanocrystalline composites.
She has received research grants and contracts exceeding $1,600,000 from federal agencies such as the National Science Foundation, the Department of Defense, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and the Department of Energy, as well as from industrial partners. She has published over 20 refereed journal articles as well as a book chapter on zirconium oxide properties. She has also published several papers in conference proceedings that include both research contributions and pedagogy and curriculum development contributions. In addition, Olivia has co-edited two conference proceedings, a special issue of the Journal of Intelligent Material Systems and Structures, and a special issue of the International Journal of Modern Physics B. Her scientific contributions have been published in the Journal of the American Ceramic Society, the Journal of Materials Research, and Optical Materials, among others, and have been presented in over 60 invited, contributed, and poster presentations at local, national, and international meetings.
As an ACS Island Resident Chemist, she hopes to provide demonstrations and present general information on the chemistry of materials, including the synthesis aspects of advanced materials.
We have 5 spaces left in our village. If you are interested in becoming an ACS Island Resident Chemist (or just have questions) please feel free to contact me at k_sellar@acs.org or Finola Graves in-world.
