Congratulations to Yasaman Shahrestani who defended her thesis on Enhanced fluorescence excitation-emission-matrix imaging using different illumination techniques on October 28th and became our latest “Master of Lasers”!

The group welcomes the 2026 cohort of graduate students with a day trip to East Sooke Park. New group members Marina, Brianna, and Paul may get a distorted view of a typical day in the LaserLab, though.

Sarah, Emma, Travis, and Peter wrote a review on Techniques and instruments for fluorescence excitation-emission matrix spectroscopy. We think you may find it interesting… check it out!
