Asst. Prof @ASU_SMS. Solid-State Chemist interested in the discovery and design of new quantum materials. PhD @MercouriK | Postdoc @SchoopLab. He/him.
The first preprint from the Khoury Lab is officially online! This is my first paper as corresponding author and my graduate student Jacob’s first first author paper. Check it out in the link in the next tweet.
Alex is a great mentor! Work with him!
We are searching for a new postdoc to join us. Plane wave DFT plus teach us something new (battery materials? Correlated electrons? Nanoparticles?) higheredjobs.com/faculty/detail…
The Khoury Lab went bowling! We had a friendly competition with the Trovitch and Earley Groups in a joint outing.
Our outreach at the Arizona Science Center has been featured in ASU News! We developed solid state chemistry demonstrations for people all throughout the Phoenix area. Check it out: news.asu.edu/b/20250604-glo…
Trump’s university assault also includes zeroing out over $400 million in funding for early career and grad student scientists, much of which goes to state schools. Cutting this off at the knees would block career pathways for countless scientists, which seems to be the goal…
Genuinely alarming development in the @NSF budget request to Congress. It proposes to end the NSF CAREER program entirely. If this program ends, junior researchers will have limited options for funding. Please contact your elected officials to let them know #savensf
I had a fantastic time at the Quantum Foundry workshop at UC Santa Barbara. Thank you to Ram Seshadri and Stephen Wilson for the invite. I gave a talk and my student Jacob was able to present a poster on his work.
Just finished @expedition33 and can confidently say this. Best soundtrack too!
What’s the best game you’ve played so far this year?
I think about this quote all the time.
Exclusive: National Science Foundation staff were told today that the agency’s 37 divisions—across all eight directorates—are being abolished and the number of programs within those divisions will be drastically reduced. scim.ag/3F9BeuO
Cuts of this magnitude to the NSF and NIH would be catastrophic for American science. Basic research fuels discoveries and grows the economy. It’s one of the best investments you can make for Americas future.
55% proposed budget cut to the NSF. 40% proposed budget cut to the NIH. This will not lead to American dominance in science and technology.
This is really funny but I’ll use this to plug the fact that community colleges are great and a net good for society. Public education should be for everyone.
Yes, Lutnick called Arizona State University a community college.
Oftentimes in outlook I’ll search for an email, remembering exact phrasing to search for, and it still won’t come up. It’s unbelievably annoying to use.
Outlook: You have 1 unread email. Me: I do? Where? Outlook: lol, well that’s the big mystery. Anyway, have a fun day!
The Khoury Lab is educating the public in materials chemistry! We’re at the learning lab in the Arizona Science Center doing Solid-State Chemistry demonstrations.
Multiple milestones for the Khoury Lab this week for our undergrads! Marie Byrne defended her honors thesis, and Rohan Bulusu was recognized as the ASU nominee for the ACS Undergraduate Award in Inorganic Chemistry.
A milestone for the Khoury Lab! Congrats to 2nd year graduate student Jacob Fritsky for passing his comprehensive exam with flying colors 🎉🥳👏
My favorite Miyazaki movie!
Hayao Miyazaki’s ‘PRINCESS MONONOKE’ will be getting a new 4K restoration released exclusively in IMAX theaters on March 26.
Writing a grant is like a rollercoaster because you feel the excitement of a fun and interesting idea coming together, but the fear that other people won’t feel the same way.
Amidst all the uncertainty lately, this is genuinely a relief. fedscoop.com/nsf-says-its-r…
I’m excited to host Josh Goldberger from The Ohio State University for our ASU SMS Seminar! @ASU_SMS
