Holiday season in the hatlab.

Congratulations to Dr. Chao Zhou on his successful thesis defense today! We wish him the best as a postdoc in the Schoelkopf group.

The mighty Pinlei Lu is defending his thesis! The other Hatlab students bought him his good luck boutonniere, maybe a new lab tradition?

Big congratulations to Boris Mesits of Hatlab who won an NSF graduate fellowship today, and to Evan McKinney who is a joint member of the Hatlab and the Jones group in ECE and received an honorable mention!

Congrats Dr. Lanes! Apologies to her friend Robin who joined during the private portion and I ruthlessly kicked as a potential zoombomber. We wish you the best in your new job!

Congrats to Dr. Chien! We are glad to have you around for a few months Klinger before you launch the next phase of your career.

Agreed

My kids new flash cards are just taunting me about closed lab :(

The Hatlab is a tomb. But it is unquiet. Mice chase bright pixels around screens as the ghosts dream their quantum dreams. So that someday we can roll the stone away and stoke the fires of the plassys and parametrically control the world once more.
