Postdoc Brittany Brings Home Best Postdoc Oral Presentation Award from the Rocky Mountain Conference 2025!

This year’s Rocky Mountain Conference (RMC) EPR 2025, dedicated exclusively to the field of EPR and chaired by Prof. Steve Hill, was held in Snowbird, Utah, from August 3–7, 2025, featuring numerous EPR presentations and posters.

Postdoc Brittany Grimm presented “EPR and FIRMS Characterization of the Magnetic Anisotropy in a Set of Metalorganic Mn^III[R-sal₂323]⁺ Spin-Crossover Complexes” at the RMC EPR 2025 conference and, among all the engaging EPR talks, took home the Best Postdoc Oral Presentation award. Congratulations on this fantastic achievement, Brittany!

Two more postdocs from Team EMR also took part in the conference. Kavipriya Thangavel presented a poster titled “Probing Spin Relaxation Mechanisms in Co(II) and Cu(II) Qubit Complexes via Temperature-Dependent High-Field EPR Studies”, and Sabastian Atwood presented “Multifrequency Study of Multiphoton Electron Paramagnetic Resonance in Crystalline Gd(III):YVO₂”.

In addition, congratulations to all three postdocs on receiving the RMC Conference Travel Award!

Alongside the academic achievements, the conference took place in a stunning setting, with lively moments inside and outside the venue, all framed by the majestic Rocky Mountains.
