The
Zhou group is moving!
Prof. Hongcai Zhou has
accepted a position as Professor of Chemistry at Texas A&M
University, his PhD alma mater. This exciting transition has
already begun, with the entire group making the move summer 2008. See
Dr. Zhou's webpage
at the Texas A&M Department of Chemistry for more details.
Congratulations
to Zhou group graduates!
2008 graduates from the
Zhou group are:
PhD - Shengqian Ma and David
Collins; BS / BA - Ryan Kuppler, Erika Manis,
and Joe Lopez
See the Group
Alumni page to see where they're headed next!
Good job to all our
graduates and best of luck!
