COFFEE TIME!!
Current and former KotovLab members have gathered at 2025 MRS Spring Meeting & Exhibit – Seattle, Washington! It’s always happy to see everyone and talk about life, research, and other exciting things.
It was a most heartwarming reunion of “Be Different” students and alumni at the 2024 Annual AICHE Meeting in San Diego. By tradition it was a Brazilian steakhouse Fogo de Chao. It was great to see how everyone connected. We talked science, careers, and of course food. Lamb chops were, by the way, amazing!

“It’s always a pleasure to be recognized by friends and colleagues. Afterwards, the professors who judged the presentations mentioned that I had successfully explained a very unique and complex research topic in a clear and informative way, which I suppose is the best compliment you could ever receive in science communication.” – Michael
