Fun trip to Center for Nanoscale Materials to run some optical experiments. Thanks to Ben Diroll and Burak Guzelturk for helping teach students about transient absorption and lasing experiments!

In a new paper just published in Advanced Materials we reveal an ultrafast symmetry change in PbS quantum dots upon photoexcitation. The degree of this symmetry change is controllable by changing the PbS surface chemistry. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Beautiful day in Burlington

Exciting postdoc opportunity in my lab on nanocrystal synthesis for time-resolved structural studies in collaboration with Dr. Burak Guzelturk at Argonne APS & Prof. Jihong Ma at UVM. Professional development opportunities for those interested in a career at predominantly undergraduate institutions.

Middlebury College is inviting applications for a 1-year visiting position in organic chemistry to begin fall 2024. Research involving undergraduates is not required but is welcomed. apply.interfolio.com/138962
