Congratulations to Arron Wolk, a graduate student in Professor Mark Johnson’s Laboratory, who received a 2012 Rao Prize for his talk entitled “Isolation of ion-driven conformations in diphenylacetylene molecular switches using cryogenic infrared spectroscopy” at the 2012 International Symposium on Molecular Spectroscopy. Arron’s research is a collaboration between the Hamilton lab and Johnson lab. Congratulations Arron!
