Laboratory and Synchrotron Measurements of Electromagnetic Phenomena in Nanostructured Materials

我的研究计划的目标是开发精确表征纳米材料的新方法，特别关注它们在光子学和超快电子领域的潜在应用，这些领域是最有可能受到精确控制纳米制造技术进步影响的技术领域之一。这项提议以一种独特的方式结合了基于等离子体的处理技术、同步加速器测量和精密测量，以推进纳米技术。学生培训将是这项研究计划的重要组成部分。与本提案中的科学工作相关的纳米结构测量和制造技术在研究实验室之外有许多应用，在我的研究实验室培训的学生可以获得的培训范围广泛，使他们能够在一系列技术部门找到有趣的机会。

The goal of my research program is to develop new methods for characterizing nanoscale materials precisely, with a particular eye to their potential applications in photonics and ultrafast electronics, which are among the areas of technology most likely to be influenced by advances in precisely controlled nano-fabrication. This proposal combines plasma-based processing techniques, synchrotron measurements, and precision measurement in a unique way to advance nanoscale technology. Student training will be an important part of this research program. The nanostructure measurement and fabrication technologies associated with the scientific work in this proposal have many applications outside the research lab and the breadth of training available to students trained in my research lab has enabled them to find interesting opportunities across a range of technology sectors.
