Dear All, Hope you are well. As many of you already know by now, I am moving on from Shah Lab. Today is my last day (in official capacity) with the Lab and I will be joining LASER PULSE<https://stemedhub.org/groups/laserpulse/> as their new Program Director from tomorrow. I am very thankful for all your support and engagement these past two years and hope to bank on it in my new role as well (special shout out to the awesome GEPP<https://engineering.purdue.edu/GEP> team). I will continue to be engaged with the Lab and will be supporting George, Diana and Rhonda in ensuring a smooth transition in the coming months. In the meantime, for any queries on I2D Expo and seed grant, please contact Diana Harbison and Rhonda Haan (both copied). Thank you again for everything and see you around 😊 P.S: my email id remains the same if you need to contact me. Thanks and Regards, Pallavi
