Grieco Lab

Laser spectroscopy group at Auburn University

[Grieco Lab @GriecoLab]

Our lab group recently had our end-of-Spring semester get-together at an @AuburnU baseball game! Congrats to our undergrads, Trevor and Sarah, who will be graduating soon!

[Grieco Lab @GriecoLab]

We are so excited to share that our lab will be included in an upcoming TV commercial! More on that coming soon!

Had a nice time at the 2026 #ACS Spring Meeting in Atlanta! It was fun sharing our research on conducting polymers and learning about the latest polymer doping research.

Curious how we measure movement of charge in organic electronics? Join us Wed (2/4), 8-11 pm EST for a live Q&A with Dr. Chris Grieco who will discuss ultrafast spectroscopy, photochemistry, polarons, and more while playing Pikmin.

Good times at this year's lab group bowling! This year, we needed 2 lanes!

We had a blast last week at #DestinationSTEM teaching middle school students about spectroscopy instrumentation and the rock samples that we use in our research lab!

[Grieco Lab @GriecoLab]

We are digging deeper into our petroleum science research using rock samples we gathered from the Hartselle Sandstone in northwest Alabama! We had a great trip in the field with Chris Hooks of the Geological Survey of Alabama @AL_GeoSurvey.

[Grieco Lab @GriecoLab]

Last week, we enjoyed sharing our research studies of conducting polymers with visiting high school students at @COSAMOutreach's Summer Science Institute at @AuburnU!

[Grieco Lab @GriecoLab]

We are thrilled to begin building a new #ultrafastSpectroscopy instrument this summer to study mixed ionic electronic conducting polymers for #bioelectronics. We thank @EdmundOptics again for supporting our optics program and ultrafast education at @AuburnU.

[Grieco Lab @GriecoLab]

On Tuesday, Caitlyn received a Malone-Zallen Fellowship, which will fund a new research area that she will be leading on diradicals. We also celebrated Rashid's Dow Graduate Fellowship that he received last May.

[Grieco Lab @GriecoLab]

We are so proud of Rashid and Caitlyn for receiving two graduate student awards from Auburn's Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, which we recently celebrated. Congrats!

The ACS Local Symposium at @ColumbusState yesterday was great! We enjoyed learning from and sharing our science with the local Chemistry community.

[Grieco Lab @GriecoLab]

Much thanks to @EdmundOptics for supporting graduate and undergraduate optics and ultrafast education through this program

[Grieco Lab @GriecoLab]

We are delighted to announce that @EdmundOptics selected our optics lab and @AuburnU as a Bronze Finalist of this year's Ultrafast Educational Award! We are also very honored to have been selected as this year's Norman Edmund Inspiration Award winner.
