I’m excited to announce that Joselin Sunder Prasanna is joining my research group as he embarks on his PhD journey! Joselin has experience working with FIB/SEM/STEM and high-entropy alloys, and we look forward to his innovative and valuable contributions to our team. Welcome aboard, Joselin!
Excited to announce that I’ve started a new role as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Texas at Dallas.
manuscript JVA21-AR-FADLEY2021-00201R, entitled “Operando Study of the Preferential Growth of SiO2 During the Dry Thermal Oxidation of Si0.60Ge0.40(001) by Ambient Pressure X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy.” is now published in the special issue: Commemorating the Career of Charles S. Fadley.
The NanoES seminar series features speakers from the nanotechnology community at UW, OSU, and beyond. The seminar sessions alternate between single lectures presented by a faculty member on a topic in their specialty area, and two short research updates from students or postdocs. Attendees of the seminar will learn about the diverse topics within the field of nanotechnology and become familiar with colleagues working in this field.
Winter 2021 seminars will be held virtually on Thursdays, 12:30 – 1:20 pm.

I will be giving a talk at the 7th International APXPS Workshop 2020, hosted by Pohang Accelerator Laboratory (PAL) on Wednesday, December 16th at 9:05 am (PT), SouthKorea. My talk will be on “Operando Studies of Surface Oxidation Reactions at Gas/Solid Interfaces by Ambient Pressure X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy.”
Today is the National Nano Day 10/9; pays homage to the nanometer scale 10^-9 meters.
I’m very sad to share that Distinguished Professor Patricia “Pat” Thiel passed away on Sept. 7, 2020. Thiel, a distinguished professor with ISU’s Department of Chemistry and an appointment in MSE, as well as a scientist with Ames Laboratory, was a faculty member at Iowa State for over 35 years, including roles as Chair of the Department of Chemistry and Chief Research Officer of the Ames Laboratory. Pat was an extraordinary person — brilliant, kind, and thoughtful. I enjoyed every discussion with her.
There are several funded openings for outstanding students seeking a Ph.D. in areas related to nanomaterials, synthesis, catalysis, and surface and interface characterization. Undergraduate and master students with degrees in Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, Chemistry, and Electrical Engineering, are encouraged to apply. For students with non-Chemical Engineering degrees, it will be necessary to take several background courses. More information can be found at http://cbee.oregonstate.edu/che-graduate-program.
