Dr. Ahmed Naitabdi obtained his PhD in Condensed Matter Physics at the University of Louis Pasteur in Strasbourg (France) in December 2004. His thesis was devoted to the investigation of the self-assembly and magnetic properties of high spin single molecule magnets and organo-bimetallic clusters on surfaces. He joined our group as postdoctoral scholar (2005-2008) to study the electronic and chemical properties of size-selected metallic nanoparticles.

Damien was a junior at Edgewater High School when joined the group. He is currently at the University of Florida.

Rachel studies at Lake Highland High School.

Leigh is currently an undergraduate student in the Chemical Engineering Department of Notre Dame university. Thanks to an NSF-REU fellowship, she spent the Summer of 2007 working in our lab.

Hanoy is currently enrolled in the College of Engineering seeking a degree in Mechanical Engineering.

Daniyar was born in Kazakhstan, where he attended TAMOS Physics and Mathematics school in Almaty (TESPM).
