Undergraduates in Research
Twelve undergraduate students were engaged in MRSEC research during 2003. Their majors include physics, chemistry, biology, chemical engineering, computer engineering, and electrical engineering, as indicated below:
-
Angelica Wong (Chemical Engineering, worked with D. Sellmyer and Y. Sui)
“Fabrication of highly ordered porous alumina templates”
Angelica together with Dave Sellmyer at the vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM)
-
Ross Andrews (Chemistry, worked with A. Rajca)
- John Burton (Physics, worked with E. Tsymbal and S. S. Jaswal)
“Micromagnetics and electron transport in nanostructures” - Peter Jacobson (Physics, worked with P. Dowben)
“Intercalation in polymer dielectrics” - Shoji Masatoshi (Physics, worked with D. Sellmyer)
- Shaina Remboldt (Physics, worked with D. Leslie-Pelecky)

Shaina is writing a computer program that simulates x-ray diffraction produces intensities peaks.
- Raymond Lemoine (Physics, worked with D. Leslie-Pelecky)
“Designing and building a new vacuum chamber to collect nanoparticles in a liquid suspension” - Clay Sheaff (Electrical Engineering, worked with B. Doudin)
- Aaron Hurlbut (Biology, worked with B. Doudin)
- Wenjin Zhou (Computer Science, worked with S. Liou)
Two undergraduate students from Salford University (U.K.) were working on MRSEC projects this summer. They were:
Joanna Denbigh (Chemistry, worked with J. Belot) and
Damien Webb (Chemistry, worked with J. Brand and B. Robertson)
“Thermodynamic Properties of Precursors for Efficient Exitonic Insulator Production”
