2013 PhD Physics from Brown

Son graduated with his PhD in physics in 2013.  He worked on nanowire and hetero-nanowire TFETs, as well as nanowire solar cells and quantum dot photodetectors.  He spent two summers at Los Alamos working with Tom Picraux. 

He defended his thesis, entitled Germanium and SiGe Nanowires for Tunneling Transistors and Solar Cells, which included the first experimental publication on SiGe hetero-nanowire TFETs with good performance. 

After Brown, he joined NIST-Gaithersburg first as a post-doc and then as a visiting scientist, moving on to LPS-Maryland as a research scientist.
