Alexander Hart

Will fabricate silver tips for tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy experiments and image their properties through scanning electron microscopy.

Sepideh Afsari

My research interests involves studying charge trasnport at single molecule level using Scanning probe microscopy techniques (mainly Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) at room temperature, in situ and under electrochemical potential control).  Currently I am investigating the applications of STM-Tip enhanced Raman Spectroscopy in DNA sequencing.

Christian Engelbrekt

I am currently one year into my three-year individual postdoc scholarship from the Danish Council for Independent Research, the national funding agency in Denmark. The project focuses on plasmonic photocatalysis and is carried out jointly at UCI (2/3) and the NanoChemistry Group at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU, 1/3), from which I got my Ph.D. in 2014. I am interested in plasmon-driven charge and heat generation, and how this affects catalytic properties of metal-metal and metal-semiconductor composite nanomaterials.
