I’m a graduate student from Department of Materials Science and Engineering at UC Berkeley. My research involves the construction of a low-temperature non-contact atomic force microscopy (AFM) with atomic resolution and the study of the physical and chemical properties of single water molecules and small carbon hydrate molecules on conductor/semiconductor/insulator surfaces at low temperature (~4K), in collaboration with Dr. Byoung Y. Choi.
