Dr. Michael Guillorn, a former Research Staff Member, received
a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from Trinity College in Hartford,
Connecticut in 1998, a M.S. in Electrical Engineering from
the University of Tennessee in Knoxville (UTK) in 2000, and
a Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering at UTK in December
2003 (Dr. Michael L. Simpson, Major Professor).
In the MENT group, his research interests included the physics
and technology of nanofabrication, advanced lithography, electron
microscopy, molecular-scale electronics and nanostructured
materials. He was involved in a variety of projects in these
areas including:
- Design of electronic devices using vertically aligned carbon nanofibers
- Electron microscopy studies of single walled carbon nanotube material
- Design and fabrication of planar electrode structures for electrically characterizing molecular-scale electronic devices
During his tenure with the MENT group, Guillorn authored or co-authored 30 journal articles, serving as first author on the following publications:
