Run simulations and analyze data collected from CERN for detection of Cosmic Rays by modeling what was, in April 2017, launched on SpaceX-12 and attached to the ISS
Using GEANT4 and C++ coding techniques, we can best prepare for what may happen whilst ISS-CREAM is in flight.

Novel bisquinoline derivatives of tetraazamacrocyclic compounds, namely 4-10-bis(7-chloroquinoline)-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane [and four others not listed here] which are potential anti-cancer drugs have been synthesized
The macrocyclic framework had to be modified to allow attachment of the substituent (4,7-dichloroquinoline) at the nitrogen atom
The initial synthesis by direct derivatization was inefficient for selective functionalization and consequently the desired product was isolated in low-yield (approx
10-15%)
We have found that choosing N-methylpyrolidinone as the reaction solvent, with trimethylamine as a base, and elevating reaction temperatures, the desired product was achieved with yields of up to 45%.

Microfluidic technology, such as "drug on a chip", has made targeting specific in vitro targets more possible than ever
Using optimized formulations, we are able to maximize drug loading over previous homogenization methods.

Dehydrobenzoannulenes (DBAs) are molecules with benzene rings separated by a carbon-carbon triple bond
These molecules have unusual chemical and physical properties - hence, the interest in the project
We expect these DBAs to be used in the design and manufacturing of nanoelectronics (e.g
Molecule size wires, logic gates, and memory storage devices).
