We are pleased to welcome Rodrigo Muelas, Alexei Caballero, and Kathryn Dale, who will be joining our group for a summer internship.

Rodrigo Muelas is originally from Madrid, Spain. He completed his Bachelor’s degree in Physics and Mathematics at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY. During his summer stay, he will be working with Raman spectroscopy to study the intercalation of nanotubes.

Alexei Caballero studied Materials Engineering at Universidad Rey Juan Carlos and joins us through a Research Initiation Fellowship (RIF). He will be working on the development of new metallic catalysts to control the polytypes of nanowires and their size distribution.

Kathryn Dale earned her Bachelor of Science in Chemical Physics at Rice University in Houston, Texas, United States. She will be working on a liquid crystal route for the self-assembly of macroscopic, oriented silicon nanowire networks.

We wish them all a productive and enriching stay in our group!
