Ken Bosnick
Ken Bosnick is currently seconded to the group of Professor Paul McEuen
at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY. His work involves correlated optical
and electronic transport measurements on carbon nanotube based devices.
Dr. Bosnick's general research interests are in the optics and electro-optics
of 0D and 1D nanostructures and nanostructured devices.
Dr. Bosnick received his BSc in Engineering Chemistry from Queen's University
in 1996. In 2000, he obtained his PhD in Experimental Physical Chemistry
from University of Toronto under the guidance of Professor Martin Moskovits.
His PhD research focused primarily on Raman spectroscopy of mass-selected,
matrix-isolated metal clusters. From 2000 to 2003, he worked as a post-doctoral
scientist with Professor Louis Brus at Columbia University in New York
City. His post-doctoral work involved studies of single-molecule surface
enhanced Raman scattering and applications of carbon nanotubes in microbiology.
Wayne Hiebert
Wayne Hiebert got his PhD from the University of Alberta in 2001 working
in ultrafast magnetic microscopy. He then spent 2 years working at the
Interuniversity Microelectronic Centre in Leuven, Belgium, in the field
of spintronics.
He is currently working with Dr. Michael Roukes at the California Institute
of Technology developing nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) for mass
sensing and mass spectrometry applications.
Michael Woodside
Dr. Michael Woodside's research interests focus on the mechanical properties
of biological systems in the single-molecule regime. HE is currently working
in the lab of Prof. Steven Block at Stanford University, studying the
mechanical properties of DNA and its relation to primary and secondary
structure by using optical tweezers to unfold DNA hairpins. In addition
to improving our basic understanding of DNA, this research may help lead
us to a better understanding of such problems as macromolecular folding
and the operation of nucleic acid enzymes.
Dr. Woodside obtained undergraduate degrees in Physics and Music at the
University of Toronto, before heading to the United States to pursue doctoral
research in Physics at the University of California, Berkeley. While at
UC Berkeley, he studied the local electronic properties of low-dimensional
systems using cryogenic scanned probe microscopy in the lab of Prof. Paul
McEuen.
