Liam Ware, an undergraduate Chemistry major, has joined the Nazin Lab. Welcome!
Weston Konneker, a junior Chemistry major, has joined the Nazin Lab. Welcome, Weston!
Undergraduate chemistry major Lauren Anderson-Sanchez has joined the Nazin Lab, and will be working on developing and characterizing novel carbon nanotube doping methods. Welcome Lauren!
Yesterday, Ben Taber gave an oral presentation, “Impact of External Perturbations on Carbon Nanotube Electronic Structure,” at the APS March Meeting in Los Angeles, CA. This research, conducted with Jon Mills, Christian Gervasi, Madison Wright, and George Nazin, explores the impact environmental perturbations, such as a charged defect in an adjacent dielectric, have on the local density of states of semiconducting carbon nanotubes.
Sam Imfeld has joined the Nazin Lab as an undergraduate researcher. She is a senior Chemistry major, and the Lab is delighted to have her on board. Welcome!
Ph.D. Candidate Ben Taber won the graduate student poster competition at the Pacific Northwest American Vacuum Society Annual Symposium earlier this week for his poster titled, “Particles in Organic Boxes: Scanning Tunneling Spectroscopy of Molecular Electronic Structure.” Congratulations!
Ben Taber was awarded the prestigious UO Dissertation Research Fellowship for the 2017-18 academic year. This fellowship is designed to support outstanding doctoral students and promote excellence in research at the University of Oregon by providing financial support for exceptional doctoral candidates to complete their dissertations.

Nazin Lab undergraduate researcher William Crowley successfully defended his Honors College Thesis earlier today. His thesis, “Fabrication of Silver Scanning Tunneling Microscope Tips with Acetic Acid,” earned Distinction, an honor awarded to the top ten percent of graduates of University of Oregon’s Robert D. Clark Honors College.
Bravo, William!
The University of Oregon has awarded Dr. George V. Nazin tenure. Congratulations!
