Many thanks to Prof. Gabriela Schlau-Cohen for the invitation to give a pchem seminar at MIT today. It was great to meet some of the faculty there, and also to see one of our lab alumna, Madi Scott!

Zach put together a fantastic first-presentation of his new SSTA measurements during the annealing of P3HT:PCBM blends, which he presented with exquisite clarity at ACS NORM today. Great job, Zach, and the culmination of a lot of hard work! Also, excellent presentation shirt.

Thanks to Prof Rob Berger for the invitation to present our nanocrystal results at ACS NORM this year. It has been an exciting physical chemistry session so far!

I had a great time remotely visiting UT Austin yesterday to give a pchem seminar. Many thanks to Prof. Sean Roberts for hosting my visit and to all the faculty who took the time to chat with me. There were lots of great questions from their students! I also had a chance to catch up with Kelly, who’s doing his postdoctoral work, building a new instrument with Sean and Carlos Baiz.

Many thanks to Prof. Christy Landes for hosting my visit to Rice University today. I had some excellent conversations with the faculty there about some new ideas and the great progress they are making on their projects in Houston, and it was a fantastic opportunity to share some of our recent work!

Congrats to James, who presented his in situ TA measurements during nanocrystal formation at the perovskite symposium at MRS. Thanks for doing a great job representing our lab group, James!

Many thanks the physics department at San Jose State for hosting my virtual seminar. It was great fun to talk about our new results with them, and get some excellent questions from their terrific students!

Congratulations to James, who gave an excellent talk at ACS on his work measuring perovskite nanocrystals using SSTA. Great job, James!

Many thanks to Prof. Marty Zanni and his colleagues and students for hosting my virtual visit yesterday. I had a great time learning about all the exciting research happening in Madison!

A big welcome to our new rotation students, Liza and Kalika, as well as our two new undergrad researchers, Laura and Aine! Liza will work with Zach on using SSTA to understand organic materials, Kalika will work with James doing SSTA of perovskite nanocrystals, and Laura and Aine will be teaming up with Brandon to understand some squaraine molecules. Welcome to the lab!
