Being able to share efficiently our new materials in multi-gram quantities with our collaborators and industrial partners will accelerate their adoption and transfer into new products,\u201d says Bernard Kippelen, the Director of COPE. \u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EProfessors Marder and Reynolds proposed the formation of the facility to EVPR Steve Cross whose office provided resources through the Georgia Tech Institute for Materials (IMAT) for creation of the facility, as part of IMAT\u2019s campus-wide investment in infrastructure. Tim Parker, Principal Research Scientist in the Marder group, designed and oversaw the creation of the facility. The availability of the equipment on campus directly impacts the ability for Georgia Tech faculty and researchers to carryout research and educational activities. For instance, the new capabilities provide the key scale-up resources for a Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI) sponsored by the Office of Naval Research for the development of advanced photovoltaics.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ELocated on the second floor of the Molecular Science and Engineering (MoSE) building, the facility serves the organic materials community at Georgia Tech and its collaborators. The facility and its staff support researchers will provide government laboratories and companies with a sufficient quantity of new materials for system-level evaluation and testing. These materials will enable future joint development research programs to speed-up their use in commercial applications. \u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe main equipment at the facility currently includes a 20 liter rotary evaporator, a 10 liter reactor with temperature control from -70\u0026nbsp;\u003Csup\u003Eo\u003C\/sup\u003EC to 200 \u003Csup\u003Eo\u003C\/sup\u003EC, and larger scale purification equipment including a chromatography system with 100-200 gram capacity.\u0026nbsp;The reactor and chromatography equipment are located in a walk-in fume hood with double volume spill containment for researcher safety.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EGeorgia Tech-COPE works with a number of corporate partners and intends to leverage the facility to further develop materials invented within partner research programs to bring them a step closer to commercialization, such as those developed during the Solvay Global Discovery program.

He was a Department of Energy Advanced Fuel Cell Cycle Initiative Fellow (2007) and was also awarded prestigious the Hertz Fellowship (2008) to support his research in energy. Dr. Yee graduated with a Ph.D. (2013) in Mechanical Engineering from the University of California Berkley.
