> We welcome a new MSc student - Raul De La Garza Puente - who will do a joint degree with the Chitnis and Hof groups at UVic exploring the biological chemistry of PN cage-based (macro)molecules!
> A massive congrats to DR. Tyler Hannah for a successful PhD defence and becoming our group's 3rd PhD alumnus! Tyler will stick around for a short time to finish some projects before starting a Postdoctoral stint in the Crudden lab at Queen's Universty.
> We bid a fond farewell to Ollie Leal, Alex Benson, and Ethan Treneman who completed their Research Experience terms with us. Ethan will be returning over the summer as a volunteer!
> Saurabh has been awarded the RSC Chemical Communications Emerging Investigator Lectureship.
> NSERC PDF Maryam's work on applying PN cage polymers as high temperature dielectric films has just been accepted in Advanced Functional Materials! Check out the publications page.
> Huge congrats to PhD student Pinelopi Tsami who won the Best Poster Presentation Prize at the Graduate Student Research Day in our department for her exciting work on PN cage based MOFs!
> PhD student Tyler Hannah has been awarded the Award for Graduate Work in Inorganic Chemistry by the Inorganic Division of the CSC. This is a prestigious national recognition with only one awardee each year across Canada. Congrats Tyler!
JAN 2026:> Will's dynamic bismuth pincer ligand chemistry is online in Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.! Check out the publications page.
> We start the new year by welcoming three undergraduate studens (Ollie, Alex, and Ethan) to the lab! Looking forward to all their exciting discoveries.
> Saurabh gave a talk at the Nova Scotia Institute of Science Public Lecture series. A video recording can be found here.
