As we wrap up 2025, ABCD Lab held a year-end dinner together with our new undergraduate research student, Espia Jan Brey. We also shared a fun random gift exchange during the dinner. In addition, Erva prepared keychains for everyone ! Special thanks !!   Wishing all ABCD lab members a fruitful and successful year of research life in 2026.

This November, two new researchers, Gyubin Jang and Kyeong-Seon Min , joined the ABCD Lab. To welcome them, we had dinner together and spent a relaxed evening getting to know each other.
