current research focuses on understanding the relationships between atomic structure and materials prop- erties at surfaces and interfaces in a wide variety of material systems. He has made important contributions to the fields of surface science, thin film growth, evolution of thin film morphology, and most recently, the interaction of high intensity femtosecond laser pulses and materials. Ultrafast laser/material interaction is being studied in his group to understand the fundamental mechanisms which drive ablation and collateral damage. His work focuses on the modification and material removal processes in metals, semiconduc- tors and ceramics as well as organic materials including graphene and carbon nanotubes

Most of the equipment and machines found in homes, factories and officestoday make extensive use of these two devices. Both motors and solenoids rely onmagnetic fields to produce the mechanical motion that is utilized for linear and rotarypower transmission.Due to recent advancements in memory metals, another method of creating motion hasbecome available that does not rely on magnetic fields.

AME 231L is a smaller course, capped at 30students, and taught once per year. The small class size, and the availability of lab space andequipment, enable a hands-on learning experience for students.
