The Wong Lab

James, Michael, and Kelly’s work measuring excited state dynamics during the synthesis of lead-halide perovskite nanocrystals was presented at the Materials Science & Technology conference. Great job!

Welcome to our two rotation students for Fall quarter, Ashley Mapile and Zach Walbrun! Ashley will be learning the ins and outs of our single-shot transient absorption instrument, while Zach will be learning to synthesize some perovskite nanocrystals and watching their dynamics evolve. Looking forward to a fun quarter!

Great fun today showing the North Star students our laser lab! Thanks for visiting and good luck as you begin your undergraduate journeys!

Thanks to our UO Summer Campers this year. We had great fun building some microscopes! Thanks to Madi and Marty for leading our campers this year. Come visit again soon!

Congrats to Kelly, Morgan, and Madi on their new conference proceedings for the Optical Society of America’s Advanced Photonics Congress. Their work can be found here.

Congrats to Grant on graduating cum laude with departmental honors! Grant also won the Noyes Award for excellence in undergraduate physical chemistry research. Well deserved, and congratulations on all of your accomplishments!

Congrats to Madi, Kelly, Morgan, and Michael on giving fantastic presentations at ACS NORM in Portland on Monday.
Michael presented his work on the in situ measurement of UV-induced photodegradation of perovskite nanocrystals; Morgan presented her newest work on using absorbance spectroscopy and her grid-based fitting algorithm to track aggregate composition; Kelly presented his new work on tracking charge transfer rates during the formation of layered organic films; Madi presented her work detailing how dynamic background signals in SSTA can be corrected. Great job, everyone, way to represent UO!

Congrats to Madi on winning a PChem Undergraduate Fellowship! This fellowship will partially fund her work over the summer on her project quantifying heterogeneity in organic films. Well deserved, Madi!

James won a teaching award from the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry for his excellent work in designing and implementing a new optical microscopy lab for the physical chemistry laboratory course. Great work, James!!

Congrats to James and Michael on the acceptance of their paper ‘Rapid sampling during synthesis of lead halide perovskite nanocrystals for spectroscopic measurement’ into MRS Advances. Great job!
