Dr. Razavi served as a Women in STEM panelist in in the 2022 Oklahoma EPSCoR Women in Science Conference
We have been collaborating with the Oklahoma Museum Network on “Women in Science Conference”, which is an annual outreach event, organized by the Oklahoma NSF EPSCoR, to allow students in grades 6-12 engage in science activities. Dr. Razavi served on the Women of STEM panel at the 2022 “Women in Science Conference” in February (virtual due to pandemic with ~ 4,000 registered students).
February 2022
We have received the National Science Foundation CAREER award (NSF Award # CBET-2144020)
We are excited to announce that Dr. Razavi’s group is the recipient of the NSF CAREER award, which is the National Science Foundation’s most prestigious award in support of early-career faculty who have the potential to serve as academic role models in research and education and to lead advances in the mission of their department or organization.

January 2020
We have received funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF Award # CBET-1934513)
This project titled as “Effect of heterogeneous particles and surfactants on the stability and rheology of fluid interfaces” seeks to gain fundamental knowledge on the interaction and synergism of heterogeneous colloidal particles and surfactant molecules in presence of interfaces using both experiments and coarse-grained simulations (in collaboration with Prof. Dimitrios V. Papavassiliou).
Alexi Wenger has received the Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP) Grant
With the generous support of the Office of the Vice President of Research at OU, the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program offers financial assistance for scholarly and creative projects under the mentorship of a faculty member. Alexi is studying interfacial assembly of proteins. Congratulations Alexi!
April 2019
We have been awarded the Faculty Investment Program (FIP) grant from the Vice President for Research at OU
The Faculty Investment Program (FIP), operated by the Norman Campus Research Council, provides funding on a competitive basis to develop and expand the scholarly, i.e., research and creative, activities of Norman campus researchers. In this project, titled as “Janus nanoparticle membranes for CO2 separation”, we will study the use of Janus nanoparticles in composite membranes to facilitate and promote selective CO2 transport (in collaboration with Prof. Michele Galizia)
