In Kelly and Zach’s invited paper in Spectrochim Acta A, we review the different methodologies used to implement single-shot transient absorption spectroscopy, and review design principles for these instruments. It was fun to write this final paper with Kelly as he left for his next position. Great job, all!

Thanks to Prof. Tiglet Besera for the invitation to virtually visit Missouri State University’s Physics Department for a seminar. It was great to have a chance to share our work with their faculty and students.

Zach did a masterful job of presenting his research during his qualifying exam, passing with flying colors. All the studying paid off! Great job, Zach, and to the entire group for helping him prepare – go team!

Thank you to Prof. Jeongho Kim for the invitation to present our work at their 1st International Symposium on Smart Materials and Process towards Sustainable Future. The Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at Inha University was a great place to remotely visit. Thank you for the chance to share our work with all of your students!
