Congrats to Kelly, Madi, and Morgan, whose project on in situ measurements during molecular aggregation won the Best Poster prize in the “Advances in in situ Techniques for Diagnostics and Synthetic Design of Energy Materials” symposium at the Materials Research Society meeting in Phoenix! Great job!

Big thanks to Kelly, Madi, and Morgan, who did all of the work that we presented at the Ultrafast Bandgap Photonics conference in Washington DC. Great job, team!

A big welcome to Marc, our rotation student for the spring quarter. He will be doing some spectroscopy on organic materials with Kelly and Madi. Looking forward to a great quarter, Marc!

Congratulations to Kelly and Madi! Their latest paper detailing their unique chopping scheme to dynamically correct for pump induced scatter and fluorescence has been accepted into the Early Career Leaders special issue of the journal Synthetic Metals. Nice work!

Congrats to Michael and Madi who both gave their first research talks at the 78th annual meeting of the Oregon Academy of Sciences in McMinnville! Michael talked about his work investigating white light generation, and Madi presented her work using the SSTA technique. Great job, both!

Sounds like Kelly had a great time in San Diego giving a presentation on his work on the SSTA instrument! Great job, Kelly!

We’re all looking forward to working with Konnor and Alex on their projects and learning more about perovskite nanocrystals and white light generation!

Kelly and Madi presented their work in developing our single shot transient absorption instrument at the SACNAS STEM Diversity conference in San Antonio, TX. Congrats to both, and thanks to SACNAS for providing travel support!

We’re excited to welcome two new rotation students to the lab, Alison and Ben. Alison will be working on measuring nanocrystals during synthesis, while Ben will get some experience using our single-shot transient absorption spectrometer. Looking forward to a fun quarter!

Morgan and Rima have published their latest work on simulating the linear absorption spectra of mixtures of H- and J-aggregates in the Proceedings of SPIE. Great job!
