Kudos to Gilad Doron!
"Gilad Doron took the lead in developing CMaT's first eSOP using the Cytiva Chronicle system and developed training material for both CMaT and the MSC testbed. He was also integral in designing the CMaT data organization strategy for testbeds, projects, and labs within Chronicle, as well as exploring system behaviors and capabilities that are critica for CMaT. Finally, Gilad participated in multiple video conferences with other Testbeds as well as with Chronicle to share his knowledge and experience. Gilad has demonstrated exceptional citizenship in engaging in these activities, outside of his area of study, to support the CMaT computational infrastructure effort and the broader CMaT community." - Tony Pan
Kudos to Chaitanya Tondepu!
"Chaitanya is always responsive and has a positive attitude. Chaitanya chips in wherever needed and thinks about all trainees when planning activities and events. Chaitanya represents CMaT and the entire body of CMaT trainees when talking to NSF and Industry and we are lucky to have Chaitanya on our team!" - Andrea Soyland
