Hematian Lab

Very excited to announce that we will be moving to Virginia Tech! We’re thankful for the amazing years @uncg_chem where the Hematian Group got started. We look forward to starting the next chapter @VTChemDept in July! Lots of opportunities for PhD students and great things to come!✨@virginia_tech

@elonmusk Dear Elon, In these critical days, the people of Iran need internet access. Please help them stay connected as they struggle to reclaim their country from the rule of the mullahs. Stand with the Iranian people. Iran will not forget its friends.
