Ava, Kaiyuan, and Justin are honored to be able to attend the 2025 Bard CEC Workshop at UT Austin and celebrate and recognize Al Bard’s enormous contributions to electrochemistry. They heard stories about how he inspired researchers in the community throughout his career, and heard talks from incredible electrochemists across all kinds of applications: solar fuels, electrocatalysis, batteries, scanning probe microscopy techniques, etc. Congratulations to Justin for giving a great talk about the effects of bandgap renormalization between monolayer and bulk TMDs!

This award honors Teresa Fonseca who was a theoretical chemistry post doc at CSU and is selected by chemistry faculty for an outstanding and excellent piece of research work. We are so proud of Dani Lustig for being awarded this scholarship!

We enjoyed some teambuilding, chatting about science, and learning more about the paper submission process at our group retreat in Estes Park March 28-30. We took a short hike around Lily Lake in Rocky Mountain and had a competitive foosball tournament. It was so much fun!

Congratulations to Dakota for a successful PhD defense! We are so excited to see what the future has in store for you!

Congrats to Lex for defending her masters on December 16, 2024. We cannot wait to see what the future has in store for you!

Congratulations to Dr. Rafael Almaraz for defending his thesis December 4th. We are so proud of you and cannot wait to see where your future takes you!
