Rate My Professor Sarah Stoll

Stoll's research centers on solid-state inorganic chemistry, materials science, and nanoparticle synthesis, with a particular emphasis on magnetic nanoparticles. These materials are explored for applications in data storage, biological separations, MRI contrast agents, and investigations into nanoscale magnetism. Her laboratory also develops systems exhibiting novel magneto-optical, luminescent, and non-linear optical properties. She has co-directed the Georgetown Research Experience for Undergraduates program since 2006 and the Science in the Public Interest program since 2009 (on and off). Additionally, she served as a Program Officer at the National Science Foundation (2015-2016) and has taught Environmental Chemistry for over 20 years. Notable awards include the NSF CAREER Award (2005) and the Sonneborn Chair. Key publications encompass “Giant Band Splittings in EuS and EuSe Magnetic Semiconductor Nanocrystals” (Chemical Communications, 2020), “Single-Source Precursors for Lanthanide Diselenide Nanosheets” (Chemistry of Materials, 2019), “Paramagnetic Clusters of Mn3(O2CCH3)6(Bpy)2 in Polyacrylamide Nanobeads as a New Design Strategy for T1-T2 Multi-Modal Contrast Agent” (ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, 2019), “Valence and Magnetic Investigations of Alkali Metal-Doped Europium Sulfide” (Chemistry of Materials, 2012), and “Gadolinium Doped Europium Sulfide” (Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2010).
