Independent research conducted under the guidance of a faculty member.

Independent research conducted under the guidance of a faculty member.

The fundamentals of basic microstructural and compositional materials characterization techniques are presented with an emphasis on tools using electromagnetic radiation and electrons as stimuli.

This course supports master candidates in the development, writing, and defense of their thesis. Students engage in independent research under faculty supervision, while receiving guidance on research design, data analysis, and scientific communication. Progress is evaluated through regular meetings and formal milestones.

MS thesis research

For graduate students holding teaching assistantships.

Topics include the synthesis and growth processes controlling quantum dot formation, nanowires, and three- dimensional self-assembled nanostructures. Additional characterization techniques and emerging applications are presented.
