We are delighted to welcome Luis Becerril to our lab. Luis is a graduate student at Cinvestav, Mexico’s national research lab. Luis will be teaching us how to make perovskite films using his aerosol-assisted vapor deposition techniques and will work with Laila to measure these films during growth. We are all super excited to work with him for the next few months!

Kudos to Zach and Laila who did a great job representing our lab at ACS in Denver! Zach had an oral and poster presentation of his fantastic work on the squaraines project; a real tour de force of spectroscopy and simulation! Laila presented her intriguing results showing the effect of glass surfaces on perovskite nanocrystal growth. Many thanks to Aine, Alyssa, Dario, and Logan who contributed to the work they presented. Great job, team!
