EARTH Annual Meeting participant picture

Last week, 19 of us traveled from ND to KU for our first NSF ERC EARTH (Environmentally Applied Refrigerant Technology Hub) Annual Meeting. I forgot to get an ND-team pic - oops. Here is Emmanuel and I outside of the charter bus. Emmanuel is just beginning his PhD research on the EARTH project.

We just started getting this magazine for our 12 year old... will check it out

The group now has four new graduate students. Welcome to Fati, Nellie, Emmanuel, and Raúl!

In this update process, I realized that we are in desperate need of a new research group picture. I also found a nice pic of the team from last summer on the day that we celebrated Lingyu's new position at Honeywell.

Lab website finally updated! Whoohoo!!
