Farewell Toby!

Congratulations to Toby Mea for obtaining his PhD in Chemical Engineering. His work focused on developing novel 3D printing functional inks and processes. All the best in your future endeavors. 

Farewell Agnes!

Congratulations to Agnes for starting a new position as a postdoctoral scholar at the M.I.N.D Institute at UC Davis Health. We will miss you! To quote her, "this is not a final goodbye since I would love to be around and work some more on our projects."
