She is now the recipient of the Schlumberger Foundation fellowship, working with Matteo on Metavalent bond materials.

Kevin has now joined Valerie's team to work on non-linear processes.

Vitaly, so far post-doc in our group, won the CNRS concour and is now a CNRS permanent researcher. Welcome!

Fatema visited the lab last year for a 3-month internship (thanks to the French embassy in Sudan and the Institut français of Sudan). She is now the recipient of the EuroTechPostdoc2 Programme, working with Matteo (and Nicola Marzari in Lausanne) on Excitons in novel one-dimensional materials.

Vitaly and Alam obtained a poster prize at the Psi-K Conference in Lausanne (08/2022). Well done!
