Congratulations to Dr. Tian (Autumn) Qiu (with Ph.D. advisor Christy Haynes, left picture) for successfully defending her thesis, titled “Bacterial Response to Nanoparticles at the Molecular Level”! She will be departing in a couple months to begin a Beckman Postdoctoral Fellowship at the University of Illinois. Autumn celebrated with her CSN graduation gift (right picture), a bright green laser pointer inscribed with “Congratulations Dr. Tian (Autumn) Qiu! From the Center for Sustainable Nanotechnology.” We know she will put this laser pointer to good use presenting all her exciting future research results!
