Rudawski, Nicholas Associate Engineer 104 POB 116400 Ph: 352-392-3077 ngr@ufl.edu Show Bio | Interests & Expertise |
|
| 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; he 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. Subsequently, he completed post-doctoral training at the University of California at Santa Barbara in transmission electron microscopy of complex oxides and semiconductors before returning to the University of Florida for additional post-doctoral training in electrochemical studies of elemental semiconductors for Li ion battery applications. He joined the Research Service Centers in August of 2012 as service/teaching faculty, where he primarily oversees the transmission electron microscopes and dual beam scanning electron microscope/focused ion beams. He has authored/coauthored 50 peer-reviewed publications contributed over 30 conference presentations since 2003. His current CV is available upon request. | |
