Our newest lab member, Oscar, was born on April 26th. His big sister, Frederica, will supervise him and make sure that he will be up to ultrafast speed soon.

Congrats to Henry, who was awarded a $3k Summer Research Fellowship by the Department. This will support Henry's work on X-rays spectroscopy simulations.

Cecilia was awarded a Student Poster Prize for her poster entitled, “Internal Atomic-scale Structure, Band Alignment, and Charge Transfer Dynamics of ZnTe/CdSe Core/Shell Quantum Dots” presented during the Advanced Photon Source/Center for Nanomaterials Users Meeting at Argonne National Laboratory. Her poster presentation was the only one to receive a perfect score in the competition! Congrats!

Congrats to Sasha for winning a prestigious NSF Graduate Research Fellowship! We are very proud, but sad to see Sasha leave this summer. Good luck at U Chicago!
