Nanoelectronics Laboratory at the University of Cincinnati

	*Christopher C. Baker*
	Research Associate B.S. Physics, Miami University, 1998	Chris is currently interested in active waveguide devices for future communications. GaN:Er is the material system being studied most actively due to its potential for optical amplification at 1.54 microns. --Maximum Pontiff of the Church of Ethical Ambiguities Chris "Bruce" Baker is our bouncer. If you don't know the password and don't have your radiation badge, he throws you out the 9th floor window where the ubiquitous construction people will affix cement shoes and toss you into the Ohio river.

	*Bob Hudgins (Bob H)*
	Ph.D. Student M.S. Physics, University of Cincinnati,1997 B.S. Physics, Purdue, 1994.	Bob is currently developing glasses doped with rare earths for an optical device medium. These glasses start off as a mixture of liquids (Sol-gel) and are processed into thin films. Further processing of these films produces wave guide devices for optical applications. --Senior Analyst and Facilitator of Unexplained Lab Phenomenon. Bob is a physics department defect(or) come to see how things operate in the real world.

	*Yongqiang Wang (John)*
	Research Associate Ph.D. Physics Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, 1997	John is currently interested in the growth of rare-earth doped GaN layers with MBE technology. His main research goal is to achieve three color integration on Si wafer and glass. --Lord Chairman of Slackness, High Commissioner Boojum Division, AKA 'Dr. Green', Drama Club, Home Coming Court John is a lost fish in the NanoLab sea; we are currently looking for him with our baseball bats. Soon, he will learn to loaf while looking busy in front of the boss-man. He hopes to one day be able to discover the secrets of the CVD-sabatoging monster that lives in the clean room.

	*Jason Heikenfeld*
	Research Scientist Ph.D. Electrical Engineering, University Of Cincinnati, 2001	Jason is currently interested in AC thin film electroluminescence of rare-earth doped GaN phosphor layers. Since the latter years of his undergraduate program, Jason had been interested in working with devices/ materials for next-generation flat panel displays. Jason is also the NanoLab webmaster for this site. --All-Powerful Master of Vapors and Big Important Sounding Title Denoting Seniority. Jason is another of those who haven't learned their lesson from going to school for years and years. After inhaling too many lab vapors one day, he decided he'd like to be a florist but ended up here instead.

	*Zhou Yu (Joe)*
	Ph.D. Student M.S. Materials Science and Engineering University of Cincinnati, 2000	Joe is interested in Metal-organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) technique and growth of GaN based thin films by MOCVD. -Joint Chief of Office Supplies as Defense Weapons Joe has taken over the chief role of Mr. Fix-It here in the lab. He is a plumber by trade, but thought what the hell and decided to do semiconductors.

	*Dong-Seon Lee (Don)*
	Research Associate M.S. Physics, Seoul National University, 1989 B.S. Physics, Seoul National University, 1987. Ph.D. Electrical Engineering, University of Cincinnati, 2002	Don has been researching rare earth doped GaN, specifically in terms of physical properties of the material system. Don has gained considerable experience in SEM and X-RAY techniques which are used to analyze surface morphology and crystallinity, respectively. --Chief Joint of Happiness, Minister of Trailing Edge Technologies, Master of the 3-point Shot Don is the new MBE-man in charge of keeping the rats and bats out of the machine. He does this by sputtering them with Fe as they fly by and capturing them with magnets. When Don isn't at the lab he is busy huslting pick-up basketball games in order to bring in extra cash for his liquid nitrogen habit.

	*Steve Allen*
	Ph.D. Student M.S. Electrical Engineering, Princeton University, 2003 B.S. Physics, B.S. Chemistry, Ohio University, 2001	Steve is interested in hybrid organic-inorganic LEDs for application in high efficiency flat panel displays. --Redeemer and Spiritual Healer of the Teleland Steve is trying to solve a universal problem: how to make all telephones silent wherever he is. His first solution is ..., ah.... He said he did not want to tell us anything about it before his idea becoming a Teleland patent.

	*Weixin Li (Wayne)*
	Ph.D. Student M.E. Material Science & Engineering, Shanghai University, 2001.	Wayne is interested in the research area of organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). His main work in NanoLab will focuse on light emitting polymer devices. --Ultimate Benefactor and Chief Administrator of Antiquated OLEDs Technologies. Wayne used to be a Tropicana Sun-Tan Lotion model, but is now more interested in the effects of Tropicana Sun-Tan Lotion in organic thin film deposition processes.

	*Ming Pan*
	Research Associate Ph.D. Materials Science and Engineering, University of Science and Technology of China, 1998	Ming is currently interested in GaN based materials and devices. With rich experiences on CVD and thin film growth, he modified an MOCVD system to grow RE doped GaN thin films. Ming is also working on Plasma Etching and Device fabrication. --Last Living Member of the Heralded Guild of Therapeutic Lawn Bowling, Lawn Bowling Magazine's 'Lawn Bowler of the Year, 1983'. Ming actually thinks he is going to continue Johns success in CVD even though its a far cry from his previous lawn bowling expertise. The only problem is, John never told him where he hid the scotch tape he uses to seal the holes in the Silane and Arsine gas tube.

	*Robert Jones (Bob J)*
	Research Associate M.S. Physics, University of Cincinnati, 2001	Bob J. is interested in Rare Earth doped Gallium Nitride growth with System X for the purpose of Flat panel display (FPD) applications as well as developing and testing FP devise structure. --"X-files actor's model who never appears in X-files, but in X-system", by TV guide 12, 2001 Bob J. is still not sure yet what title he would like to earn, artist or POP_II. Same problem for him is to make a decision between X-files and X-system.

	*Julie Meunchen*
		Julie keeps the Nanolab running smoothly. She works part time as the NanoLab secretary leaving time for her to raise her children. For her going home from work is a relief since adolescents are easier to deal with than disorganized NanoLab students. --Grand Chancelor of Organizational Skills and Supplier of Yummy Holiday Cookies. Julie is secretary for the NanoLab and most valuable member given the overall lack of organization amongst disorientated NanoLab students.
