My polymers may be regioregular, but my polymer images are Raj-ioregular.

We use time-resolved electrostatic force microscopy to map how surface potential evolves in perovskites during photoexcitation. We show nanoscale variations in recombination dynamics as affected by morphology and passivation! @rajgiri @acsnano https://t.co/havUKomedB

Our newest work on time-resolved EFM is published! Working on trEFM was part of the reason I came back to academia, so I'm really really excited to see this published. Maddie and Justin did amazing work here! I'll post more on LinkedIn. https://t.co/SPJYPcbOn0

Come join @tpavanderpol, Sabine Ludwigs and I in Valencia ☀️🏝️😎 this Fall at #MATSUS25 @nanoGe_Conf. We’ll discuss OECT materials, devices, applications, modeling, and more! We have a fantastic invited speaker lineup already and look forward to your exciting contributed talks!

[Raj Giridharagopal @rajgiri]

@Switchblade97 I do consider myself fair and impartial! But you probably meant the compliment for @TheRajGiri instead :)

[Raj Giridharagopal @rajgiri]

@Otaku51_ I'm assuming you meant to tag @TheRajGiri :) But I will accept your birthday wishes nonetheless

[Raj Giridharagopal @rajgiri]

Excited for UW and for David Baker today! Great news

[Raj Giridharagopal @rajgiri]

Yesterday was the 15th anniversary of my PhD defense! Easily in my top-5 happiest moments of my life, somewhere between "getting engaged" and "beating Super Mario Bros 3 for the first time."

[Raj Giridharagopal @rajgiri]

Happy to have been a part of this work! It's not often I'm co-author on a paper without doing any AFM :)

[Ginger Lab @gingerlabUW]

Our paper on asymmetric OECT switching kinetics from doping propagation and density-dependent mobility is out @NatureMaterials! Led by @chenmerson & Jiajie Guo, with @cgbischak, Chang-Zhi Li (Zhejiang) and @luscombe_OIST, complete with cool movies! https://t.co/rWfBAPe6Pi

@SupaSaiyajinLee I'm guessing you you would be much more excited to meet @TheRajGiri than me 😃

[Raj Giridharagopal @rajgiri]

@deejaykate Not really. I enjoy my job, being in a lab and learning new science is very fun for me. But it's funny that basically once a week for 8 years this comes up here and I haven't figured out a good canned response

[Raj Giridharagopal @rajgiri]

Today marks exactly 8 years in my current academic position after a few years in industry. Today also marks exactly 8 years since I was first asked by a grad student if I missed industry

[Ginger Lab @gingerlabUW]

Exciting work demonstrates an artificial neuron based on organic transistors showing responses to biological ions and neurotransmitters! Congrats @FabianoSimone. Looking forward to its in-vivo sensing/neuromorphic computing potential! https://t.co/z1bFdCkJkW @chenmerson @rajgiri

[Margherita Taddei @margheritaddei]

Congrats @CarloPerini3 on his @ACSEnergyLett paper!!
Using hyperspectral PL microscopy and c-AFM with @rajgiri @gingerlabUW,we looked at the spatial heterogeneity of n=1 and n=2 phases deposited via vapor and solution.
Such a fun collaboration! Hope to work together again soon 🤗

[Raj Giridharagopal @rajgiri]

Kind of ironic that academic Twitter is abandoning this place just as Twitter's work culture is matching that of academia

[Raj Giridharagopal @rajgiri]

@ramav_matsci Was going to also say NanoSurf, though tbh I know them primarily from teaching STM that I used in grad school and was quite open access and high-quality

[Raj Giridharagopal @rajgiri]

Next stop: TikTok (a TikTalk, as it were)

[Ginger Lab @gingerlabUW]

Our very own @rajgiri giving the @uw_mse seminar to a standing room only audience!

[Michael Sentef @sentefmi]

Just a quick reminder that you can win a Nobel with an h-index = 29 (according to the usually inflated google scholar). Quantitative measures of scientific output are not the way to go to a bright future for humanity.

[Ginger Lab @gingerlabUW]

Congrats to Maddie on her new paper (w/ @rajgiri) published in @JCIM_JCTC demonstrating neural network extraction of carrier dynamics on perovskites using SPM! An exciting new application of ML for imaging dynamics using SPM https://t.co/qzpr8Wdkiy [https://t.co/n6Yaxv5iZa]

@Sergei_Imaging I still get some curious looks when I tell people all of my degrees are in Electrical Engineering and then proceed to explain my research.
