The Li group welcomes Sara Tweedy, an undergraduate from Harvey Mudd College, to the group. Sara joins the group as part of the Amgen Scholars Summer Research Program in Science and Biotechnology. The program “provides hundreds of selected undergraduate students with the opportunity to engage in hands-on research experience at some of the nation’s leading educational institutions.” During the 9-week program, Sara will study the effects of charging and counterions on the electronic structure of CdSe and ZnO quantum dots.
