We are excited to work with Peter Carlson this summer, who is joining our REU program from U. Minnesota. Peter will be working with Laila on a project to better understand the mechanism of perovskite nanocrystal growth. We’re all looking forward to working with you, Peter!

A huge congratulations to Zach, who was selected for a Graduate Student Award for Excellence in the Teaching of Chemistry! Zach won the award based on his phenomenal work as a teaching assistant for the physical chemistry laboratory course, where he took on two of the most difficult labs on darkfield microscopy and rovibrational spectroscopy. Thank you for all you do for our undergraduate students, Zach!

Congratulations to Nick, who was awarded the Baitis Undergraduate Fellowship! This fellowship will support Nick’s work on copper phthalocyanine over the summer. Well-deserved, Nick!

A big congrats to Logan on being awarded the Kuntz-Swinehart Memorial Scholarship. Keep up the great work, Logan!
