Electronic thin film fabrication

Electrical characterization

Materials characterization (SEM, TEM, AFM, surface characterization)

Nano-fabrication

Chemical synthesis

Self-assembly surface chemistry

Membrane separation techniques

  My contact policy:  I'm quite busy and typically don't have time to write a thoughtful letter for all inquirers.  You are welcome to send an e-mail, just please don't be discouraged with a lack of a prompt  response.  I do quickly read them, and file e-mails of promising students to check with applicant pool in late February.  Since I usually don't know about funding until very close to decision time (late March), I generally don't e-mail back prospects of admission (since I don't know funding).  Thus I encourage people to apply to the Materials Science Program by the deadline.  An e-mail from you explaining research interest in late February/early March is appropriate and I would then remind me to bring the application up with the admission committee.
