Below is a summary of my efforts in 2024. Research is discussed in the period of 2022-2024. Everything else is for 2024 only. Last year I had my post-tenure review.<br><br>Research: Self-Score 4.0<br>Publications 2022-2024: 20 In the 3 year period of 2022-2024, we have published 18 articles and 1 patent issued and 1 patent application. https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&user=Fvmdu-oAAAAJ&view_op=list_works&sortby=pubdate<br>I’m corresponding author on 15 of the 18 articles. In 2024 we had six articles in high impact journals.<br>Grants in 2022-2024: We currently have 5 active grants (6 in 2024). Welch ($300k); Cleantech DOE ($270k); NEWT main (~$400k to me); Watts ($200k); and a project with LANL ($98k). (NEWT-Internship ~42k). I’m PI on all except NEWT main (coPI). I don't know what my expenditures were in 2024. Likely somewhere in the 480k.<br>Talks in 2022-2024: 10 I have delivered 4 invited talks including one as a plenary speaker at the Annual Meeting of the Electrochemical Society in Mexico, U of the Pacific, U of Illinois- Chicago, and at the Arizona Water Association. I gave 3 contributed talks to SWRM, SERMACS, ACS National meeting. I also gave 2 of invited talks through Zoom (UT Southwestern, SEQM), and gave several talks within the centers I participate.<br>Mentorship: I currently have 10 PhD students in my group and 3 UG. In 2024 two Ph.D. students (C. Sandoval-Pauker, Sheng Yin) and one M.S. graduated (Satya Suman) CSP earned best graduate student dissertation at the department and college, and SS (Master student) earned best thesis at the college and department as well. CSP and SS were originally mentored by Pinter and Banda, respectively so the credit mostly belongs to them. In 2023, Yulu Ge, and in 2022 Mariana Marcos, graduated with a Ph. D. Current Graduate Students: Neidy Ocuane, Alex Castillo (co-advised with JGT), Jonathan Calvillo, Diego Puerto, Nasim Jafari, Paulo Dos Santos, Zicong He, Gopi Dontireddy, Jose Merino, Hector Gonzalez (co-advised with CRC).<br>Teaching: Self-Score 3.5In Spring 2024 I taught CHEM 3352 and the associated laboratory 3152. In Fall 2024 I taught Structure of Matter. I had decent evaluation scores on those courses. I have also directed several theses and dissertations and research credits at the G and UG levels.<br>Service: Self-Score 3.0I am part of the Title IX committee in the University dealing with student, staff and faculty misconduct (very time consuming).<br>I serve as the Chemistry representative at the T&P Committee at the College (meets about 3 ties per year).<br>I am member of several committees in the department, including the Core facility, Bylaws, and UG curriculum. I also co-direct the SURECHEM program with Prof. Xiao. I advise the ACS student Chapter.<br>I also served as a reviewer for many academic journals, and I write multiple (20+) reference letters per year.
