Current Research or Professional Activities
Upon Brendan’s graduation he brought a series of group III-nitride material samples grown using plasma-assisted metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (PA-MOCVD) that he is working on categorizing and understanding. At ¶·Å£ÆåÅÆ University he uses atomic force microscopy and x-ray diffraction to characterize these materials in pursuit of the understanding of their growth.
