The group welcomes Dr. Fei Bu as a postdoctoral associate. Fei completed his PhD at UC Riverside with Prof. Pingyun Feng.

The group bids a fond farewell to graduating seniors Hanna and Irene, and welcomes new group member Natasha!

The group takes a trip to the Spring ACS National Meeting in Orlando, FL. Great job to Choi, Hanna, and Irene on your presentations!

Welcome to Ana, our newest group member!

A new paper by Niu and Hanna has been published, on some unexpected coordination chemistry from silver(I)!

Congrats to recent graduate Choi Mak, who has won the 2018 Award for Undergraduate Research from the American Chemical Society Division of Inorganic Chemistry!

Congratulations to Choi for successfully defending her Senior Thesis!

Mike and Choi traveled to the ACS National Meeting in New Orleans to enjoy a few days of great science (along with some nice weather and cajun food)!

Choi presented a poster on her work with the redox chemistry of dinuclear silver complexes, and Mike gave a talk in honor of his old boss Mircea Dincă, who won the ACS Award in Pure Chemistry.
