Congratulations to GeoSci Professor Nicolas Dauphas, Research Associate Professor Reika Yokochi, former PhD student Francois Tissot, present PhD student Justin Hu, and former postdoc Tom Ireland who were recently issued a patent for the pneumatically/hydraulically actuated fluoropolymer-hplc chromatographic system they developed in Hinds. Acquiring a patent is a rare achievement in the Earth sciences.
