  Solution-Phase Structural Characterization of Supramolecular Assemblies by Molecular Diffraction

  Porphyrin containing thin film colorimetric sensors for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have been synthesized and characterized. Electropolymerization has been employed to synthesize robust poly-tetrakis(4-aminophenyl)porphyrin films. Production of films by this method allows for fine control over thickness allowing for rapid responses to analytes. While many techniques used to produce thin films rely on electrostatics

  these films are covalently linked

  yielding excellent structural integrity upon repeated exposure to organic solvents. Several transition metals have been inserted into the porphyrin films to modulate the sensory response based upon the affinity of particular transition metals to organic analytes.

  Supramolecular porphyrinic prisms: coordinative assembly and solution phase X-ray structural characterization

  A statistical study of the Siena College Tech Valley Scholars NSF S-STEM program which provides scholarships for talented STEM majors with financial need. The effect of scholarships based on financial need

  early involvement in undergraduate research

  cohort support activities

  continuous mentoring and guidance of students throughout the program

  and a learning environment using the latest developments in STEM Education Research was studied. Analysis of student outcomes from the first cohort of TVS-supported students indicates that TVS students have both higher graduation rates and final cumulative GPAs that both matched and random control groups. Additionally

  our study yields evidence that unmet financial need is an important non-retention risk factor that

  when mitigated

  results in enhanced academic success.
