Last week @SamStranks had the chance to visit former @StranksLab postdoc (now Sr Lecturer) Wenxin Mao and prof Udo Bach at @MonashUni and give a talk on the latest work from the group, including on epitaxial perovskite heterostructure growth and dynamic perovskite nanodomains!

Very sad to see Dr. Youngkwang Jung finish his postdoc at @StranksLab @cebcambridge but equally excited for his next chapter of DFT calculations on perovskite materials at Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) in S. Korea!
