Suong Ou
ouf@rice.edu |
Fung Suong Ou received his M.S in material science and engineering and M.Eng in electrical engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in May 2007. He had worked with various area of nanotechnology during his internship at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (Summer 2003), University of Rochester (Fall 2003) and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (Summer 2004, 2005). He was also invited to the International Center for Young Scientist at National Institute for Material Science in Japan as a visiting scientist (Summer 2007). His current research interest is to develop novel smart material and nano-machine system based on the hybrid nanowires he pioneered. He has received a number of scientific awards including the Foresight Distinguished Student Prize in Nanotechnology in 2007 and the Graduate Student Fellowship from Applied Materials Inc. He was also elected to be an associate member of Sigma Xi, the scientific research society in 2007. |

 Brent
Carey
brent.carey@rice.edu |
Brent Carey received his B.S. in Physics from Clarkson University in 2006. In the summer of 2004, he studied the effects of supersaturation on the nucleation of precipitates in Ni-based superalloys in the NSEC REU program at Northwestern University. During the summer of 2005, he helped create a UV Raman system to detect armchair carbon nanotubes in the RQI REU program at Rice University. His research in Dr. Ajayan’s group involves creating novel polymer composites reinforced with carbon nanotubes and studying their resistance to fatigue and mechanical failure. |
