The group held its annual holiday party at Jupiter. Happy holidays to all group members, collaborators, colleagues, family and friends.

We extend a warm welcome to Sadie Siegel who joins our group as graduate student this fall. Sadie will conduct research on new frontiers applying solid-state high harmonic generation to complex chemical environments.
