There were a lot of exciting developments this semester. We recruited two new graduate student members, Rana and Kiser – welcome! We’ll also be joined starting in January by a new undergraduate researcher, Pedro, our first Physics major. We received a new Global Hubs Partnership Grant to build links with Girish Lakhwani’s group at the University of Sydney as we work together to make new polariton-based optoelectronic devices. And at the very end, David’s first paper on MOF photophysics and Amy’s first paper on intramolecular charge-transfer dynamics were accepted at JACS and Chem Comm. Check them out on the publications page. Great work, and welcome to the spectroscopy club!
