Students present personal research at national chemistry conference
Colleen Burnie
ENTERTAINMENT EDITOR
For many Wesleyan students, senior year means hard classes, long projects and usual-
ly some research. The mere mention of research can send students running the other way,
but for senior biochemistry major Jimmy Juelg and senior psychology major Dinko
Kranjac, the summer and fall semester research meant playing with plasma and resulted in
the chance to showcase their research for scientists from all over the nation.
"We were chosen to participate in the Welch research program this summer." said Juelg.
For Juelg, though the summer of investigations was not mandatory, research time this
fall fulfills the semester of research required for science majors. For Kranjac the experience
was not required.
"I have an interest in science and, since I had the chance to do it this summer, I took it.
It was so interesting I stuck with it through the semester as an independent study,'' said
Kranjac.
The two seniors teamed up with chemistry professor Dr. Samuel Sanchez to continue
work on a project that Sanchez had begun during his time in graduate school.
"Then Dr. Sanchez picked us to be on his team, and we both decided to stay with it for
the semester,"' said Juelg. "The purpose of the research was to find the optimal duty cycle,
or ratio of on and off, using pulsed plasma and a monomer to create a uniform nanofilm."
Plasma, the fourth state of matter, is created when particles are extremely excited.
"We excited them using radio waves, the same kind that would be flowing through your
car stereo," said Juelg.
They then would pulse the plasma on and off at different ratios to try and create a uni-
form, smooth film on a piece of silicon.
"This was my first experience with real world chemistry research," said Kranjac of the
nearly six month long project.
"In the future, the film could be used for a variety of applications based on the materi-
al, or monomer, that we started with," said Juelg.
Late in the summer, Sanchez applied to die American Chemical Society Southwest
Regional Meeting for a chance to present the research at the conference.
"I was very excited," said Kranjac. "It was a great opportunity to see what others were
doing in the field
of chemistry and
represent the
school with our
work."
The confer-
ence, which was
held Lubbock in
early November,
lasted four days
and was filled
with undergradu-
ate, graduate and
faculty research
from the region.
"We got to

studies, see what
fields of study are available and where the world of chemistry is headed," said Juelg. "It
was definitely a highlight of my academic career."
This summer marked the third summer spent studying with the Welch Foundation for
Juelg, who also spent a summer studying trimethylmenuria with Wesleyan chemistry pro-
fessor Ricardo Rodriguez and another studying bleach chemistry with chemistry professor
Robert Landolt.
For Kranjac, an international student from Croatia, the experience was not only a feat
for his scientific career but a personal achievement as well.
"When I first arrived here my English was pretty bad," said Kranjac. "To be able to
present my research before my peers and be understood was quite an accomplishment."
"We could not have been able to do any of this with out the chemistry department,
Welch Foundation or Dr. Sanchez," said Juelg. Kranjac agreed and joked, "Maybe next time
we can present in Costa Rica or New Zealand."
