We are proud to share that Dr. Lac Ha Nguyen will be joining Tennessee Tech University as an Assistant Professor of Inorganic Chemistry this fall. This new role is a well-earned step forward, and we’re excited to see where this path leads him.
Lac Ha has been a steady and thoughtful presence in the Gagliardi Group—bringing clarity to complex problems, a deep commitment to his work, and a drive that consistently moved projects ahead. Whether tackling challenging research questions or supporting those around him, he led by example and made a real mark on the group’s culture and progress.
As he takes this next step into a faculty position, we have no doubt he will bring the same care, curiosity, and integrity to his teaching and research. His future students and colleagues are lucky to have him.
Thank you, Lac Ha, for everything you have contributed. We will miss you—and we look forward to seeing all that you accomplish in this next chapter. Congratulations!
We also took the opportunity to celebrate another exciting milestone: the publication of Younghwan Kim’s first paper—congratulations, Younghwan!
