NANO DISCOVERIES UM graduate student Mary Olagunju, a member <strong>of</strong> the Knecht Research Group, is using<br />
bio-inspired approaches to modify the catalytic reactivity <strong>of</strong> nanoparticles using light. The light is able to alter the<br />
surface configuration <strong>of</strong> the nanoparticles, thus allowing the chemical reaction to progress <strong>and</strong>/or change. Located<br />
in the Cox Science Building on the Coral Gables campus, the lab is run by Pr<strong>of</strong>essor <strong>of</strong> Chemistry Marc R. Knecht.<br />
