My skillset includes the construction
and maintenance of ultra-high vacuum
(UHV) instrumentation, physical vapor
transport (PVT) growth of
single-crystal organic semiconductors,
polymer and organic thin-film
formation, and organic photovoltaic
and FET device fabrication and
characterization. I have experience in
the sample preparation, instrument
operation and data analysis necessary
for the following techniques: atomic
force microscopy (AFM), X-ray
photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS),
scanning electron microscopy (SEM),
secondary ion mass spectroscopy
(SIMS), ultraviolet photoelectron
spectroscopy (UPS), and medium and
high energy ion spectroscopies (MEIS
and RBS). scanning tunneling
microscopy (STM), infrared (IR)
spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic
resonance (NMR) spectroscopy,
high-performance liquid chromatography
(HPLC). I have a working knowledge of
the following techniques: inductively
coupled plasma atomic emission
spectroscopy (ICP-AES), He ion
microscopy (HIM), X-ray diffraction
(XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), mass
spectroscopy (MS; TOF, MALDI, etc.),
contact angle measurements, and other
common analytical techniques. I have
edited over 1000 scientific articles
intended for publication in
peer-reviewed journals focusing on
chemistry, physics, materials science,
biomaterials, environmental science,
and related engineering fields.
