Desmond presented his work on the EDM set up at the Xerox Research Fellowship Symposium.
Raman, FTIR set up is done. Nathan and Elliot worked hard over the summer to finish the system in style.
Received a new grant from NSF DMR for studying novel hydrogen-rich materials at high pressures: Possible route to room temperature superconductivity.
Gordon Research Conference NH. Had a nice time with Ike’s current and past members.
Our ED machine arrived. Desmond and Elliot are working hard to get it operational for our diamond anvil experiments, which it wasn’t built for. We save at least $30,000. Right: first electrode that we made ~ 100 microns in diameter
Elliot setting up the 532nm laser.
Nathan doing a few test runs.
Desmond completed building a portable stand for the 4k Stinger. Great job Desmond! This saved $5000 for the lab.
Nathan DG won the Outstanding Teaching Assistant award. Congratulations Nathan!
Elliot Snider, an ME graduate student, joined our group. Welcome Elliot!
