Congratulations to Thomas on graduation and your new position. This past year, Thomas has been doing great work with Peter on the synthesis of High Entropy Oxides. We are sorry to see you go, but excited for your success and a little jealous that you get to live in San Diego.

Congratulations to Andrew, who will be starting work at Chrysler next fall. We are sorry to lose you, but wish you the best at your new job.

Congratulations to Steve and Peter for passing their respective qualifying exams.

Congratulations to Peter on receiving a 2500$ WCEE Summer Research and Internship Grant to spend time with our collaborators in Switzerland this summer doing second harmonic generation on magnetic and multiferroic oxides. This funding is provided by the Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies (WCED).
