TRVS 2023
Just got back from a fantastic TRVS in Amsterdam. It was a great conference, lots of exciting talks and some great conversations at the poster sessions. I gave a talk on development of 2D IR spectroelectrochemistry and a poster on water vibrational dynamics in...
Big Bear Squatch North 50K
Participated this past weekend in the 50K distance of the Big Bear Squatch North organized by the Sassquad in the Harriman and Bear Mountain State Parks in the Hudson River valley. This course was no joke! Coming off a serious foot and ankle injury a few months ago...

New Broadband OPA
Congratulations to John on his new paper in Optics Letters! We report the development of a new OPA seeded with a continuum mid-IR source.
There’s no bulk-like water in superconcentrated electrolytes
Check out our new paper in JPCB, we revealed the intricacies of the water hydrogen bonding network in battery-relevant LiTFSI electrolytes all the way from the dilute limit to the superconcentrated solution. Along the way, we elucidated some of the details of...
ACN doesn’t exchange on a ps timescale
Bogdan's paper is out in JACS! In it, we studied the dynamics of acetonitrile-based electrolytes, and found no evidence for ultrafast solvent exchange. Take a look!
