She presented her poster “Insight into the Intermolecular Forces Driving the Stabilization of
Pharmaceutical Solids on the Surface of Porous Solid Materials”. Song also met with many experts who are focusing on related research fields, and got lots of helpful feedback from the conference.

She worked with Prof. David Cooke and his graduate students, focusing mainly on a technique that uses air plasma as a medium for generating THz pulses and then detecting them with an air biased coherent detection system. The Cooke Lab is located in the Rutherford Physics Building, named after Ernest Rutherford, who is one of McGill’s most famous scientists! Emily also got to try poutine for the first time, and explore the city of Montreal.

A thorough week of discussion lead to a powerful exchange of ideas, and thought-provoking questions with regards to the next generation of advanced organic-based optoelectronic materials. Enjoying the local cuisine of Grenoble, Peter visited the Bastille, saw the historic cable car, with a beautiful sight of the city of Grenoble, including its very own synchrotron!

Peter also visited many of Paris’s gems, including the Louvre, Musée d’Orsay, and O’brien’s irish pub.
