Group Members

  We're a relatively new group (July '01) and research is really moving along with the first 'crop' of graduates.  Please see the Alumni page as well.  The lab phone number is (859) 218-6538.

Dr.  Ji Wu:   Earned a Ph.D. (Texas Christian University) in Inorganic Chemistry studying the 'Fabrication and Optical Properties of Erbium-Doped Group IV Nanowires and Their Corresponding Oxides'  He is now leading the effort to use CNT membranes as the active element in programmed transdermal drug delivery of addictive drugs.

Students

Pawan Tyagi:   Comes from the prestigious India Institute of Technology in Kanpur where he pursued Masters research work on the Surface Passivation of GaAs semiconductor.  He recieved B.E. in Metallurgy in 1998 from University of Roorkee, India and then served Midhani an alloy steel plant for 2 years. Presently he is trying to electrically characterize a single molecule for spintronic applications. MSE Ph.D. student.

Bing Hu:  Comes to us from the Shanghai Institute of Ceramics (part of Chinese Academy of Sciences) where he studied template growth methods for Eu/silicate nanorods.  He is currently developing other controlled nanowire growth methods for molecular electrodes.  MSE Ph.D. student.

Xin Zhan:  Comes to us  from the Department of Chemistry here at UK.  He working on new chemistry at the tips of CNTs in membranes and molecular scale electrodes.  Chemistry PH.D. student

Xin Su:  Comes to us  from the prestigious Tsinghua University with a masters thesis studying ZnO nanostructures.   He working on new electrochemicaI reactions at the tips of CNTs for fuel cells.  MSE PH.D. student

 

Karen Gerstandt:  Comes to us  from the prestigious GKSS institute in Hamburg Germany working on water purification membranes.  She is studying electrostatic effects on transport through CNT membranes.  MSE PH.D. student
