Following research appointments in Europe and at Michigan State University, Tatha joined the CQM in August, 2020. Welcome!

After nearly three years with the CQM, postdoc Damjan Pelc returned to his native Zagreb for a faculty position. 

CQM faculty Chris Leighton and Martin Greven presented at a July 20-23 SrTiO3-focused workshop in the MISPOCHE (Microscopics of Superconductivity in Perovskite Oxides: Challenges, Hurdles and Enigmas) Series.

CQM Phd student Biqiong Yu (Greven group) has successfully defended her Phd thesis in Dec 2019. She now works for Analog Devices, Inc. in Massachusetts.

CQM faculty member Turan Birol delivered an invited talk at the 2020 Molecular Magnetism in North American Conference held at St. Simons Islands, GA.

CQM faculty member Chris Leighton was recently announced as one of the 2020 Fellows of the Neutron Scattering Society of America (NSSA). The NSSA is the central organization advancing neutron scattering in the US, and has been recognizing Fellows since 2007. Leighton was recognized for "his insightful application of neutron scattering to advance the understanding of magnetic materials, including magnetically inhomogeneous systems, complex oxides, and magnetic heterostructures". He joins Martin Greven as an existing CQM NSSA Fellow. See: https://neutronscattering.org/news
