Ada’s expertise and passion for research has made an enormous impact on our student success and the broader scientific community. Throughout his tenure, Ada has trained thousands of users, introduced cutting-edge equipment, and played a pivotal role in shaping the identity of the Core Research Facilities. We extend our heartfelt thanks for his outstanding contributions and wish him and his family the very best in their new adventure.
In light of Ada’s retirement, the CRF has completed a reorganization of the Materials Characterization Laboratory into three core labs:
1. A Microscopy Core Laboratory (MCL) now managed by Anna Maria Routsi, Ph.D. (UML Analytical Chemistry, 2021).
2. An expanded Materials and Chemical Characterization Laboratory (MCC, formerly the Analytical Chemistry Laboratory) managed by Wendy Gavin.
3. A Cell Analysis and Imaging Laboratory (CAI) managed by Mingli Hou, Ph.D.
Further information about the equipment in these new labs will be shared in a follow-up announcement and is also available on our reservation site.
