I am very excited to share that my team and I have moved to @RiceUniversity. We are extremely grateful for the continuous support from the students, faculty, staff, funding agencies and companies, program officers, collaborators, mentors, and friends worldwide. Thank you, University of Utah's students, faculty, and staff, for supporting my journey from an Assistant Professor in 2018 to my promotion to Associate Professor with tenure at the U in 2024. I am incredibly fortunate to have the support of my team members, who have followed me on this journey to Rice. They have gone above and beyond to successfully transplant our lab, over 1484 miles, in two weeks. Thank you also to The People at Rice for their warm welcome and incredible support for our team during the transitions. We are very excited and grateful for the new opportunity - looking forward to MECH it happens! @RiceMECH kong.rice.edu
