We’ve had a busy summer in the lab and in terms of sharing our results. Here are a number of published papers and key activities.

Comings and Goings

This summer we welcomed the following new group members:

• Kate Artyunova, UROP
• Matteo Castellani, EECS Grad Student
• Andrew Sorenson, MEng Grad Student

The following members have now left and become alumni group members:

• Akshay Agarwal, completed his PhD!
  • Thesis title “Techniques for Enhancing Electron Microscopy”
• Tao Cai, Summer UROP returning to University of Michigan
• Dario Cattozzo Mor, Junior Researcher at Czech Academy of Sciences
• Andres Lombo, returning to Senior year at University of Toronto
• Glenn Martinez, Successfully defended his MS Thesis!
• Di Zhu, taking technical staff position at IMRE in Singapore

Awards

• Marco Colangelo – Claude E. Shannon Award
