JOHN HENDERSON

Background:

I graduated with a B.S. with major in physics from McGill University (www.mcgill.ca) in Montreal, Canada in June 2005.  In the summer of 2005 I moved to Orlando, Florida to begin a Ph.D. program at UCF and to join Enrique’s low temperature nano-magnetism group.

Project: Single-molecule magnet based single-electron transistors

Fabricating and then measuring single-electron-transistor devices in order to explore the magnetic and electronic properties of single molecule magnets at low temperature

HAJRAH QUDDUSI

Background:

I did MS Physics from COMSATS institute of information Technology, Islamabad, Pakistan in Sep 2007. My MS research was on waveguide biosensors. I joined UCF Physics department as a PhD student in spring 2008.

Project: Quantum dynamics of molecular magnets

The study of the quantum dynamics of nanoscale systems is at the edge of promising future technological applications. From a fundamental point of view, single-molecule magnets are prototype systems for this kind of studies.

Background:

I am from Bangladesh. I studied at University of Dhaka in Bangladesh and got my BS in physics. As a undergrad I did some research on theoretical astrophysics. After I graduated from University of Dhaka in 1998, I kept on working in astrophysics before moving to US at Fall 2000. While in physics PhD program at University of Cincinnati I decided to change my area of research to experimental condensed mater. After completing most of my course work there, I transfer here at University of Central Florida to work on exciting field of nano-science. Now I am working as a PhD student in Dr. del Barco's group focusing on transport properties of magnetic nano-particles.

Project: Deposition of moelcules in surfaces for nanotransport measurements

When functionalized in certain ways,typically  non-magnetic metallic gold nanoparticles develop ferromagnetic behavior. We want to study these particles, synthesized by Florencio Hernandez (UCF Chemistry), by means of single-electron transport.
