Laser-Focused: How Minjung Son’s Research Brings Together Photonics and Chemistry for a Brighter Future

by Jack Osmond, Photos by Chris McIntosh Assistant Professor of Chemistry Minjung Son loves shooting lasers at things for a living––just check her Twitter bio for proof. She stumbled upon her passion for lasers, or ultrafast spectroscopy, as an undergraduate. After taking classes in physical chemistry and quantum mechanics, she joined a research group where […]

How do decisions made in the brain influence behavior?

Jerry Chen’s lab is engineering new tools to visualize the brain’s processes By Tess Joosse At the crux of Jerry Chen’s research are some of the most elemental questions about the cognitive experience. “How do we perceive the world? How do we use that information to make decisions? We’re interested in understanding the basic functions […]
