The Yu lab is moving to WashU in Fall 2025! Wholehearted thanks to my wonderful colleagues Indiana University Chemistry Department for the support and friendship. It will be sad to leave IU after 13 years here, but I am also excited to start a new stage of career at WashU Chem and WashU McKelvey Engineering.

Student News - Congratulations to graduate student, Swagata Bhattacharyya, for being awarded the 2024 Executive Dean's Travel Award for Women in Science! Great job Swagata!! #iubchemistry #womeninscience #yugroup

Big day! We celebrated the installation of IU's new NeoArm electron microscope, all fully decked out for analytical materials characterization. I cut the ribbon. Big thanks to The College at IU Indiana University Research for this major investment. Megan and Nil are trained and their data is beautiful.

Great talks and posters by our group members at the Materials Symposium today! It is a perfect last day for Daysanit’s REU program in the lab! Congratulations on a great summer, Daysanit!

There should be a Science Olympics where we watch people do hard experiments

Join us for excellent science 🧬🧫🔬🔭🧪

Good start to August before the semester starts ❤️❤️🎉

Excited to be a part of this wonderful collaboration 🤗🙂Stay tuned for more interlab collaboration in Japan 😇🤓
