John presenting his poster at the CofC Celebration of Scholars poster session (August 2016).

John McFaddin

John joined the group in May 2016. John's projects focus on (1) the behavior of P3HT in binary solvent mixtures and (2) the extension of the functional solubility parameter approach developed in our lab.

In August 2016 John presented the results of his summer research at the CofC Celebration of Scholars poster session. In October 2016 John received a MAYS grant from the CofC office of Undergraduate Research and Creative Activities to fund his project during the 2016-2017 academic year. John presented a poster at the Southeast Regional Meeting of the American Chemical Society (SERMACS) in Columbia, SC (October 2016).

In 2018 John's work was published in the journal Macromolecular Chemistry and Physics.

John graduated in 2018, and currently he is a laboratory technician at Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC)
