CINT Postdoc Receives Prestigious Fellowship
Shadi Dayeh, a Director's Postdoctoral Fellow in the Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies, has been appointed a Distinguished J. Robert Oppenheimer Postdoctoral Fellow at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Named after the Laboratory's first Director, this prestigious 3 year fellowship provides the opportunity for recipients to collaborate with LANL scientists and engineers on staff initiated research. Candidates must display extraordinary ability in scientific research and show clear and definite promise of becoming outstanding leaders in the research they pursue. As an Oppenheimer Fellow Shadi plans to pursue semiconductor nanowire studies in a wide variety of areas, including understanding and controlling the science of their growth and their applications in electronics, spintronics, solar energy harvesting and neural probe research. Shadi joined LANL in September, 2008 as a Director's Postdoctoral Fellow; his CINT mentor is Tom Picraux.
CINT Highlight: Two CINT Scientists recognized for outstanding scientific contributions
CINT Scientists Toni Taylor and Tom Picraux, were two of the six designated 2009 Los Alamos National Laboratory Fellows recognized for sustained, outstanding scientific contributions and exceptional promise for continued professional achievement.
The title of Fellow is bestowed on only about 2 percent of the Laboratory's current technical staff. The new Fellows come from myriad scientific disciplines and have sustained high-level achievement important to the Laboratory, become recognized authorities in their fields, and made important discoveries used or cited by peers inside and outside the Laboratory. more...
One Scientific Communtiy Focused on Nanoscience Integration
The Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies (CINT) is a Department of Energy/Office of Science Nanoscale Science Research Center (NSRC) operating as a national user facility devoted to establishing the scientific principles that govern the design, performance, and integration of nanoscale materials. Through its Core Facility in Albuquerque and Gateway to Los Alamos Facility, CINT provides open access to tools and expertise needed to explore the continuum from scientific discovery to the integration of nanostructures into the micro- and macro world.
