Rudawski, Nicholas Assistant Engineer POB 116400 Ph: 352-392-3077 ngr@ufl.edu Show Bio |
|
| Bio: Nicholas G. Rudawski received his B.S.E. degree in Materials Science and Engineering from the University of Michigan in 2005 while researching growth and characterization of III-V semiconductors and completed his Ph.D. degree in Materials Science and Engineering from the University of Florida in 2008 studying structure-processing-property relationships in ion-implanted Si. He completed additional post-doctoral training at the University of California at Santa Barbara in transmission electron microscopy of complex oxides and semiconductors and at the University of Florida in electrochemical studies of elemental semiconductors for Li ion battery applications before joining the RSC in August of 2012, where he began overseeing the transmission electron microscopes and the dual beam scanning electron microscope/focused ion beam. His background is primarily in materials characterization using transmission electron microscopy with emphasis on the use and development of focused ion beam-based techniques for specimen preparation. Starting in April of 2016, he also began overseeing operation of the new Tescan scanning electron microscope equipped with energy dispersive spectroscopy and electron backscattered diffraction. He has authored or coauthored nearly 40 peer-reviewed publications in journals such as Physical Review Letters, Materials Science and Engineering R: Reports, Applied Physics Letters, and Journal of Power Sources and contributed ~30 conference presentations since 2003. His current CV is available upon request. | |
