Welcome to Melissa, Erhan, and Ken

We are pleased to welcome Dr. Melissa Lucero, a new postdoc, to our group. Melissa has most recently been in Prof. Gus Scuseria's group at Rice University.

We also offer a slightly belated welcome to two new PhD students, Erhan Atci and Ken Onubogu. Erhan will be working on theoretical modeling of porous materials. Ken, who will be jointly advised by Prof. Krista Walton, will work on experimental studies of MOFs.

It is terrific to have Melissa, Erhan, and Ken join us.
