Achievement

PI awarded NSF CAREER!

Very exciting news: PI Siddha Pimputkar was awarded the prestigious NSF CAREER for his proposed work on a new synthesis approach for the realization of a wide array of nitride materials in single crystal form! Even more reason to anxiously await completion of the lab construction to start ramping up impactful work for the nitride community.

Team

Welcome to the team, Jonny Valenzuela!

Great to have a new face join our team expand on our synthesis capabilities! Welcome Jonny and look forward to many fruitful discussions and hope to create some big single crystal nitrides using the Li-flux approach!
