Halloween Group Meeting
We combined work with a little celebrating spirit of Halloween at our group meeting today.
Note the tattooed arms.
Note our dignified guest Prof. Barman.
Note the pretentious bad-ass attitudes.
The lovely MAFIA lab manager.
All pumped up for another late Friday night experiment session!
Happy Birthday Matt!!!
Matt’s birthday gave us a perfect reason for MAFIA family and friends to get together and bond at CVP.
We had a memorable evening. What a lovely start of fall 2016!

Matt Wins ASCB Travel Award
Matt was selected for Travel Award to attend American Society of Cell Biology Annual Meeting at San Francisco in December. Matt’s winning project is high-throughput measurement of sub-pN forces generated by motile cells. It is a rare honor for undergraduate students. We are psyched to have Matt going to the City by the Bay with us.

Bye Yancheng
We said goodbye to our beloved summer intern Yancheng Du today and had a farewell lunch at Gertrude to wish him the best before he heads home to Tsinghua University, China, to finish his last year of undergraduate study in Mechanical Engineering and Finance. Yancheng joined the MG task force team in July and has been very productive working together with Jenny and Seungman.
Best of luck and we hope we can see you again very soon!
Welcome Wei-Hung
We welcome Wei-Hung Jung joining the lab of MAFIA. Wei-Hung is a PhD student in Mechanical Engineering. He has been an Orioles fan for years. It is just appropriate that he decided to come to Baltimore!
Summer Outing
We ventured to Harper’s Ferry for our first group outing outside Maryland. Despite the 100 degree heat we braved the nature and hiked for a mile with Prof. Sung Hoon Kang and his group.
We had been psyched all week for the outing .
We enjoyed the scenery, good lunch at the rustic Country Cafe and ice cream!
We had fun at Harper’s Ferry.
