Congratulations to our friends and colleagues at NASA/NASA JPL for the successful touchdown of Perseverance! #countdowntomars (img credit NASA/JPL-Caltech)

Check out our paper where we present rapid mode-resolved Vernier #spectroscopy in the mid-IR with a centimeter-scale optical cavity. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

We had a double birthday in the Okumura group today! Happy birthday to Charlie Markus and Kat 🎉

We have a new Okumura group picture featuring Teddy, our group mascot!

It was a pleasure having C:/arlos Abad here in our group Caltech for the past 6 months. We wish him all the best and look forward to more collaborations between our groups!

We have some good news to share: 1) Elizabeth Lunny has been hired onto the permanent staff of Aerodyne Research as Senior Scientist! 2) Joey Messinger will be starting next month as Associate Editor at the American Institute of Physics! 3) @termeh_bashiri has been awarded an NSERC / CRSNG fellowship!

Today we attended the Informal Gathering on Atmospheric Science and Photochemistry (IGASP) at UC Irvine, where Doug and Hannah did a great job presenting posters on their projects. Fun fact: Mitchio came up with the symposium name but doesn't remember it...

We are incredibly proud of our very own Hannah Szentkuti for being one of the James Ellis LuValle awardees! Congratulations Hannah!

We are happy to have Prof. Mitchio Okumura Okumura Group from Caltech as our guest at BAM_DE 🇺🇸🤝🇩🇪. In hot Berlin🔥(38C/100F) we discussed hot new projects on high-resolution spectroscopy

Working virtually overseas with the Okumura Group at Caltech, LTB Lasertechnik and BAM_DE 🇺🇸🤝🇩🇪. Great talk of @DaliaMorcillo on lithium isotope analysis. This is a contribution to reliable, durable, and safer energy storage systems 🔋

Great job, Kyla 🎉 We're proud of you for what you have accomplished during your time at Caltech as a WAVE Fellow!

Today marked the end of Kyla's WAVE fellowship in our group. To celebrate, she took a picture with Mitchio and our most-prized wrench! We're proud of you Kyla Hudson and we look forward to seeing all the cool science that you will continue to do.

Mitchio's out of town, so to celebrate our fearless leader's birthday, we pulled a harmless Slack prank on him! It was a glorious day of chaos and confusion...

Congratulations to Tyler who is officially a PhD Candidate as of a couple days ago! Go Tyler 🎉

Congratulations to our colleague and labmate, Dr. Doug Ober for graduating today! We wish Doug and all other Caltech graduates the very best 🥳

The Okumura group has taken over #ISMS2023! Tuesday was a busy day for us as Charlie Markus, Tyler, @termeh_bashiri, Leah and Wen had talks throughout the day. We’re so happy to be among colleagues and learning the newest findings and techniques i the spectroscopy world!

We are happy to have Prof. Mitchio Okumura @Mitchio_O Okumura Group Caltech giving our UCLA Chem & Biochem physical chemistry seminar today

Rapid reactions of Crigee intermediates with peroxyl radicals may play critical roles in particle formation. Fast reaction also implies pronounced biradical character but not the well accepted zwitterionic character of a Criegee intermediate @okumuragroup go.acs.org/9cp

The Okumurons have yet again taken over ISMS (ISMS)! So many talks, good conversations with colleagues, and overall a fantastic time! Thanks to the organizers
