Congratulations to Joseph Garlow

I want to congratulate my former undergraduate mentee Joseph Garlow who completed his baccalaureate degree in Bio-engineering and is starting his graduate studies in the dept. of Material Science at SBU. He is now formally a PhD student member of our Electron Microscopy and Nanostructure Group, dept. CMPMS @BNL.

During his time under my mentorship Mr. Garlow focused on the growth and characterization of graphene using physcial vapor deposition (PVD) from a solid carbon source. He became well versed in ultra high vacuum technology, electron beam evaporation, scanning electron microscopy, and raman spectroscopy among other things. We are currently working on packaging up this work for peer-reviewed journal publications.

Welcome to the group and I wish you well in your scientific endeavors.
