Undergraduate researcher wanted for a project investigating new ways to make next generation materials for light emitting devices (LEDs). The Herman lab in chemical engineering is using a continuous flow microwave reactor to synthesize semiconductor nanoparticles called quantum dots, the undergraduate researcher would aid in the synthesis and purification of these materials.  If you are interested in a career in Oregon’s growing greentech industry this is a great way to gain experience.

More info on the project can be found in this press release: http://oregonbest.org/commercialization/pacific-light-technologies

Those interested should contact Bob Fitzmorris (fitzmorr@onid.orst.edu) with a brief explanation of their interest and previous experience.  Students who have taken, or are currently taking organic chemistry are preferred.
