I'm excited to announce Vulcan Elements' $65M Series A, led by Brad Gerstner (@altcap) and @AltimeterCap. This investment will propel Vulcan to commercial scale—a critical milestone toward fully onshoring the rare earth magnet supply chain and enabling the United States and its allies to win the 21st century technology race. This is a defining moment for American manufacturing, innovation, and national security. We’re moving with the speed and seriousness that the nation deserves. If we remain disciplined and focused on executing, we can rebuild one of the most critical supply chains of the 21st century—on U.S. soil. As said best by Altimeter Founder & CEO Brad Gerstner: “Vulcan’s relentless execution has put it at the forefront of the industry. Vulcan has already emerged as a best-in-class manufacturer within two years of incorporation. There’s no one else in the rare earth space moving at this pace and with this level of performance.” This is reindustrialization in action—and it’s just the beginning. @WSJ exclusive: wsj.com/business/rare-earth-…

Great article on the challenges (and opportunities!!) of starting a company from academia… very interesting from the perspective of battery company founders too!

I recently had the incredible opportunity to conduct battery research with @LabClemens at The University of Stuttgart! Check out more details on my collaborative experience below!

We’re at Cal State LA teaching a Python workshop for the @MolSSI_NSF / Cal State LA PREC program! I’m joined by @SlamowitzConnor and @StevenAyoub7 as helping instructors! Thanks to @neginf1368 and @SodeResearch for hosting us!

💡 Happy Engineers Week! 💡 Today we feature MSE alumna @jessica_a_nash (Ph.D., ’17), a Software Scientist at The Molecular Sciences Software Institute at @virginia_tech. Learn more about her in the article on our website. #whatengineersdo mse.ncsu.edu/2023/02/spotlig…

The Warren Lab 2023

Congrats to my coworker Don on this cool new paper!

Recent Warren Lab Graduate, Dr. Jack Sundberg, was recently featured in a UNC endeavors article. The story outlines the incredible work Jack did to optimize materials search for fluoride ion batteries. A very nice article and picture! endeavors.unc.edu/a-crystal-…

Feeling pretty good after this years Krispy Kreme Challenge. Eyeing top 100 next year 👀👀 @K2Challenge

Im amazed by the growth of this organization over the past few years and excited to see the impact we will have on broader Triangle Community in the future!
