Sept 25: We had a successful energy materials conference at IOM3. JD is Chair of the energy materials committee there. The other female committee members made it all possible. The event focused on early career researchers. Dr. Matt Wells from the group gave a very interesting talk and Drs. Debasis Nayak presented an excellent poster and Venkat Daramalla presented an excellent talk about "High energy storage Li-ion thin film batteries using sustainable cathode materials". Former student from the group, Dr. Adam Lovett, also presented an interesting poster in his postdoctoral work.
