Anil’s recent work was featured in ‘Nevada Today’
UNR’s official news and information site ‘Nevada Today’ featured an article about his recent published paper. As the site mentioned ‘Anil Timilsina’s work may help researchers better understand the impacts of climate change.’ The paper was published in ACS Analytical Chemistry. Check out the feature here and the paper here.
Presented our work at ACS Fall Meeting ‘23
The Yang Lab showcased their research at the latest meeting of the American Chemical Society (ACS). Dr. Yang was invited to deliver two talks during the event. Abrar and Anil presented their work in one of the geochemistry sessions, while Alyssa shared her recent findings in poster sessions.
RET Project
In the summer of '23, three middle school teachers dedicated six weeks to hands-on training in various experimental procedures conducted in the lab as part of the Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) Site project. Additionally, they collaborated on the development of a curriculum tailored for middle school students, with a specific focus on renewable clean energy.
Abrar & Anil went to collect samples from wildfire-affected boreal forests in Canada
Abrar and Anil undertook a week-long field trip to collect soil affected by wildfires from Red Lake, Ontario. The samples will be used to analyze how wildfires can impact soil organic carbon and study its long-term effects.
