ResearchResearch in the Gilbertson Group aims to inform sustainable design of existing and novel materials that 1) precludes potential unintended environmental and human health consequences, and 2) maintains or exceeds functional performance goals. Gilbertson's research includes both experimental and life cycle modeling thrusts.

The GroupMeet our group members by visiting our People page.
Dr. Gilbertson is excited to grow her research group at the University of Pittsburgh. Please contact me if you are interested in becoming a member of the group as a post doc, visiting researcher, graduate student, or undergraduate. Check out these undergraduate research opportunities! Latest News and AnnouncementsMany thanks to PPG for sponsoring research in our lab! Nathalia Aquino de Carvalho was awarded a 1-year Graduate Research Fellowship and Lisa Stabryla received a conference travel grant. Congrats ladies!
PhD student Josh Urso publishes his first paper in Sustainable Chemistry and Engineering on a new sustainability metric - atom conversion efficiency - applied to agriculture fertilization. Congrats to Nathaniel for receiving an Undergraduate Research Award from the Mindlin Foundation! A new publication from our collaborative research with the Millstone group is now in Environmental Science: Nano. Congrats Katie and Lisa! New publication from out group in ES: Nano - "Opportunities to Advance Sustainable Design of Nano-Enabled Agriculture Identified Through a Literature Review". Congrats to Yan and Joy! Congrats to Yan who was chosen as runner up in the Carbon Nanomaterials Graduate Student Award competition at the 2017 AIChE meeting! Very excited to share good news... Lisa was honored as a NDSEG fellow! Congrats Lisa! Congrats to Yan for her publication in Green Chemistry on rational design of graphene oxide! |
