Computational Determination of Electron-Electron Repulsion and Binding Energy within the Atom
By Docia Atanda, Dorothy Haas Faculty Mentor: Leanna Giancarlo Abstract The atomic binding energy is the energy needed to pull away the innermost electrons in an atom away from the nucleus. The atomic binding energy is a value that takes into account the nuclear charge, electrons, and electrostatic interactions between the two. Using ChemCompute and…

Design of 3D Printed Packed Bed Columns for the Removal of Methylene Blue from Water in Flow
By Docia Atanda Faculty Mentor: Dr. Sarah Smith Abstract Packed bed columns used in flow chemistry commonly exhibit bed inhomogeneity, low reproducibility, and do not provide optimal mixing and contact between the stationary phase and mobile phase leading to low column efficiency. Additive manufacturing (3D printing) can be used to create columns with intricate internal…
