Education Achievements

Trainee hosted seminar speakers

Trainee hosted seminar speakers have brought added value to the education for a large group of graduate students studying topics in nanoscience across all disciplines on the UT Austin campus. This reporting period featured Raymond Ashoori, MIT, "Tunneling Spectroscopy of the Two-Dimensional Electron Systems with Extraordinary Resolution" and Jens Brede, Hamburg University, "Atomic-scale spin-resolved studies of carbon based systems on ferromagnetic substrates: single molecular magnets and graphene". Students attending the seminars are able to meet with the speakers one on one to discuss in detail research in common. Traditionally, speakers are hosted by faculty and often don't have the opportunity to meet with students. These speakers not only broaden the scientific scope by exposing students to cutting edge research, it also allows the students a personal prospective on particular career paths of these successful researchers.
