Congratulations Florencia!

Today, Florencia Edorna obtained her degree in Physics from the University of Buenos Aires with the highest grade.

Florencia came to our group wishing to work on 3D STED and MINFLUX nanoscopy, incorporating adaptive optics schemes to bring those methods to their maximum performance by correcting aberrations in the optical system and the samples. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 outbreak made it impossible for us to go to the lab. We had to change plans and Florencia carried out a graduation thesis based mainly on calculations and simulations. Florencia prepared a simulation code to represent optical foci with a central minimum using the phase modulation attainable with the spatial light modulator available in our lab Her calculations will be useful for 3D STED with nearly isotropic resolution, and for pulsed MINFLUX with a balanced correction of the four foci.

Next, Florencia will start a Ph. D. program working in our group.

Congratulations, Flor, and welcome again to the group, now in your new role!
