Description
This NIRT proposal focuses on development of innovative processes for fabrication of quantum
and molecular devices using a novel horizontal 1-D AAO array nanotemplate.
In the United Sates, high school students are not very interested in Science and Engineering.
However, science and engineering are of critical importance for innovative economy, especially
in the current global economy era. In order to attract US undergraduate students to our
engineering graduate programs, it is important to engage them in the laboratory environment as
part of their undergraduate education and to make them interested in research. In addition,
Outreach to high schools is also an important approach to attract high school students to
engineering programs.
Toward this goal, I propose to hire two undergraduate students to work on two projects. One
undergraduate student will work closely with a graduate student to help characterization of
single-electron transistors for various temperatures (100K-300K). Another undergraduate student
will help design and improve a humidity sensing circuit for education outreach. The education
outreach activities will enhance the involvement of undergraduate students in the
multidisciplinary environment and also attract high school students from Appalachian
communities (economically depressed group).
