Once the first Ph.D. student and became a dear friend, @OzdogruBertan stopped at our home on his way to Michigan from Colorado 😇🤣 before starting his new job. We had a wonderful time last weekend in snowland MD.

It was a long and exciting day in our laboratory! We installed the ALPHA-II FT-IR and will move it inside the glove box after new year! We also installed QCM-D QSense Explorer with electrochemical module, and even we performed electrodeposition of MnO2 electrode today!
