Reza Moheimani is elected a Fellow of American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) for “Outstanding Contributions to Control of High-Precision Mechatronic Systems.”
Congratulations to Hamed Alemansour who, in September, successfully defended his dissertation titled “Development of Probe-based Devices and Methods for Applications in Micro/Nano Characterization and Fabrication”. Hamed is now with Quantum Design, San Diego, CA.
Dr. Reza Moheimani, the James Von Ehr Distinguished Chair in Science and Technology at UT Dallas, and his team designed and fabricated a microelectromechanical systems device, which is mounted on a scanning tunneling microscope tip holder. UT Dallas and Zyvex Labs researchers demonstrated the feasibility of using microelectromechanical systems technology for scanning tunneling microscopy in a paper published in June.

Congratulations to Dr. Nastaran Nikooienejad who will be joining ASML in September. We wish her much success for the future.
Our new Scienta Omicron VT-STM arrived today at our lab. It will be unpacked and up an running in comping weeks. This scanning tunneling microscope will support our research efforts in atomically precise fabrication of solid-state quantum devices.
Reza Moheimani and collaborators, John Randall and James Owen (Zyvex Labs), have won two Department of Energy (DOE) Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) awards. These are: (i) The PhaseII-B project “High Speed Platform for Highly Parallel STM lithography and Hierarchical Assembly.” and (ii) The Phase II project “Atomically Precise Scanning Probe Based Analysis of Activated Dopants for 2D Micro Electronics”.
Congratulations to Dr. Nastaran Nikooienejad who successfully defended her doctoral thesis titled “CONTROL SYSTEM DESIGN FOR HIGH-SPEED ATOMIC FORCE MICROSCOPY”. Nastaran remains a member of the LDCN and is currently undertaking postdoctoral research.
