The laboratory compound run by Professors Martin and Ramesh was named the winner of the UC Berkeley Excellence in Laboratory Safety Award in the Large Physical Sciences category. Professor Martin will represent the laboratory at the award ceremony in Feb. 2018. This award is given to one laboratory on campus based on the results of laboratory safety inspection results, internal safety communications, and collaboration with the EH&S and Department Safety Coordinators. The laboratory will receive a door ribbon marking their award and a lunch party for the entire group. The laboratory aims to produce world-class oxide research, while maintaining a safe, effective, and efficient working environment for all.
