Research Activities

Bobby Friel synthesizing maganese compounds to examine electron transfer process in photo-oxidation of water in Professor Dismukes lab.

Jacob Krich with He scattering apparatus in Professor Scoles' lab to examine structure of self-assembled-monolayers.

Dan Santavicca with SQUID apparatus in Professor Ong's lab for determining magnetic properties of novel metal oxides.

 

 

 

Raymond To, working with Professors Felton and Prud'homme developing laser diagnostic for a fan spray for novel fuel injectors.

Tennyson Maliro synthesizing iron oxide colloidal particles to incorporate into silica gels for art preservation under the guidance of Professor Scherer.

 

 

 

Dave Steuerman determining X-ray crystallographic structure of new metal oxides he synthesized in Professor Robert Cava's labs.

Bart Muthuswamy, working with Dr. Nan Yao and Professor Aksay, simulating electron scattering data from mullite to unravel the transformations of different mullite structures.

 

 

 

James Trevethan with a small angle light scattering apparatus he built in Professor Register's to examine spherulite structure in polymer systems.

John Valenza, in Professor Scherer's lab, preparing cement samples modified with air voids to improve its mechanical properties.
