Meet the Team
The CMaS Facility was formed with backing from Cornell University. Dr. Esteban Gazel and Dr. Megan Holycross are the PIs of this facility while Stephanie Murillo Maikut (MS) is the primary operator and manager of the lab space. They work together to high-quality data for academic research and advancement as well as industry needs.
