My favorite Miyazaki movie!

A milestone for the Khoury Lab! Congrats to 2nd year graduate student Jacob Fritsky for passing his comprehensive exam with flying colors 🎉🥳👏

Multiple milestones for the Khoury Lab this week for our undergrads! Marie Byrne defended her honors thesis, and Rohan Bulusu was recognized as the ASU nominee for the ACS Undergraduate Award in Inorganic Chemistry.

The Khoury Lab is educating the public in materials chemistry! We’re at the learning lab in the Arizona Science Center doing Solid-State Chemistry demonstrations.

Oftentimes in outlook I’ll search for an email, remembering exact phrasing to search for, and it still won’t come up. It’s unbelievably annoying to use.

This is really funny but I’ll use this to plug the fact that community colleges are great and a net good for society. Public education should be for everyone.

Cuts of this magnitude to the NSF and NIH would be catastrophic for American science. Basic research fuels discoveries and grows the economy. It’s one of the best investments you can make for Americas future.

I think about this quote all the time.

Just finished Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and can confidently say this. Best soundtrack too!

I had a fantastic time at the Quantum Foundry workshop at UC Santa Barbara. Thank you to Ram Seshadri and Stephen Wilson for the invite. I gave a talk and my student Jacob was able to present a poster on his work.

Genuinely alarming development in the U.S. National Science Foundation budget request to Congress. It proposes to end the NSF CAREER program entirely. If this program ends, junior researchers will have limited options for funding. Please contact your elected officials to let them know #savensf

Trump’s university assault also includes zeroing out over $400 million in funding for early career and grad student scientists, much of which goes to state schools. Cutting this off at the knees would block career pathways for countless scientists, which seems to be the goal

Our outreach at the Arizona Science Center has been featured in ASU News! We developed solid state chemistry demonstrations for people all throughout the Phoenix area. Check it out: news.asu.edu/b/20250604-glo…

The Khoury Lab went bowling! We had a friendly competition with the Trovitch and Earley Groups in a joint outing.

Alex is a great mentor! Work with him!

A wonderful crystal my graduate student Jacob Fritsky grew. Look at those faces!
