Quite the delayed post as I am terrible with updating the website, but welcome Diego Ochiai and Dr. Stephanie Frost as the new undergraduate and postdoctoral researchers (respectively) to the Wu Research Group!

Awesome work! What a way to show off what you’ve learned and how you’ve grown throughout these two years!

Major props for Cassie who soloed ACS 2025! Super proud of you!

And thank you all who made my first trip to NARST 2025 a super fun time!

The Wu Research Group is proud to announce a new publication in the Journal of Chemical Education! Check it out! Awesome job to Cassie, the first author!

The Wu Research Group is excited to announce the arrival of Kira Cheren and Mark Petzing as our new undergraduate researchers! They’ve done a lot already with navigating how to use LOPUS, and we are so excited to see how their respective growth during their time here. New group photos should be incoming!

BCCE 2024 at the University of Kentucky was a crazy experience. Check out the gallery for related photos!
