Happy Thanksgiving from the Lyons Group - 2019 !
Happy Thanksgiving from the Lyons Group - 2019 !
Illya Nayshevsky is a graduate student pursuing a Ph.D. in Chemistry at the CUNY Graduate Center and College of Staten Island. Previously, Illya graduated with a B.S. in Chemistry from the College of Staten Island. For his Ph.D. thesis, he is investigating multi-functional nanostructured coatings that impart anti-soiling/self-cleaning and anti-reflective properties to glass. Recently, Illya’s work has earned him Best Student Paper Awards at the 44th IEEE PVSC (2017) and 7th World Conference on Photovoltaic Energy Conversion (2018)

Daniel Furhang is currently an undergraduate student pursuing his B.S. in Chemistry at the Macaulay Honors College at the College of Staten Island. For his honors thesis, Daniel is researching the effects of Hybrid Hydrophobic-Hydrophilic surfaces on anti-soiling and self-cleaning properties, especially as they relate to Photovoltaic cells. This field shows promise in lowering energy lost by solar panels and should lower the cost of clean, safe electricity worldwide.
Gil Barahman is currently an undergraduate student pursuing his B.S. in Biochemistry at the Macaulay Honors College of the College of Staten Island. He previously graduated from Brooklyn Technical High School with a chemical engineering major, and advanced regents with honors designation. He is currently involved in our lab’s singlet oxygen project, studying the effect of surface angle, flow rate, and power on singlet oxygen yield.
Dr. QianFeng Xu joined Prof. Alan Lyons group in 2010 immediately after receiving his PhD from Shanghai Jiao Tong University in China. His research focuses on developing robust polymer-based nanocomposite coatings with multifunctional properties including superhydrophobic, photocatalytic, anti-reflective and anti-soiling properties for solar panel as well as biomedical device applications. He also co-advises undergraduate and graduate student research. Recently teams that he mentored won 1st place in the UNICEF Challenge and NY State Pollution Prevention competitions. http://www1.cuny.edu/mu/research/2014/01/22/1016/ and http://www.rit.edu/affiliate/nysp2i/2012-2013-nysp2i-student-competition-winning-teams

Alan Lyons received a B.Sc. with honors in chemistry from Brown University and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in polymer chemistry from Polytechnic University, Brooklyn, NY (now NYU-Tandon School of Engineering). He was a Distinguished Member of Technical Staff with the research division of Bell Laboratories, Alcatel-Lucent and a founding member of Bell Labs Ireland. He joined the City University of New York, as a Professor in the Department of Chemistry in 2008. Professor Lyons has authored over 40 refereed publications and 37 patents issued by the U.S. Patent Office. Google Scholar Profile
Since joining CUNY, Dr. Lyons co-founded ARLD LLC to develop high performance, low-cost anti-reflective and anti-soiling coatings for solar cover glass. ARL Designs has won numerous awards, including the SunRISE TechBridge Challenge; two TechConnect National Innovation Awards; Phase I & II grants from the NSF and a BAPVC award from DOE’s DuraMAT program. Dr. Lyons has also co-founded SingletO2 Therapeutics LLC with Professor Alexander Greer of Brooklyn College. SingletO2 received an STTR grant from NIH in 2016. Professors Lyons and Greer are recipients of the CUNY iHUB Start-Up Fellowship
