A warm welcome to Megan Yellowtail who is joining the lab to work on our darkfield microscopy project. Despite only being a freshman, Megan already has a lot of experience at UO as a leader and organizer with the SPICE program, inspiring younger students to pursue science and engineering. Megan will be mentored by Racheal and Alyssa. Welcome to the team, Megan!

Congrats to the lab on receiving a grant that will fund our upcoming project to build a next-gen SSTA instrument! Our new instrument will expand the pump-probe time delay range we can measure in a single-shot, and also enable the isolation of signal from domain boundaries in organic thin films. Many thanks to the NSF for continuing to support our research efforts.
