After
obtaining a Diploma degree in physics from the Swiss Federal Institute
of Technology (ETH) in my hometown, Zurich, Switzerland. I did graduate
and post doc work at the University of Karlsruhe, in Karlsruhe,
Germany, at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in
Cambridge, Massachusetts, at the National Metrology Laboratory of Japan
(NMIJ/AIST) in Tsukuba, Japan and at JILA in Boulder Colorado. I'm
delighted to be here at CU. It offers great minds, a great
infrastructure, and a perfect environment in which to work! |

Chien-Chung Lee, e-mail: Chienchung.Lee_at_colorado.edu
I
graduated from the National Taiwan University in 2007 receiving my BS
in physics. As an undergraduate I studied laser stabiliztion and
two-photon absorption in IAMS, Academia Sinica, Taiwan. I joined Prof.
Schibli's group in 2009. I like Boulder, it is a great place for both,
research and being out enjoying the mountains. |

Wanyan Xie, e-mail: Wanyan.Xie_at_colorado.edu
I
received my B.S.in Physics from Sichuan University in 2010, which is in
the same city where I grew up. I joined Prof. Schibli's group in the
summer of 2011. Currently and in the future, I will work on the
construction of mode-locked-mini laser using graphene as the saturable
absorber.
I like the environment and the way of life in Boulder .

| Nathan Keschl,
e-mail: nkeschl@gmail.com
CU
honors student. Partially funded through UROP.
As part of his honors thesis Nathan is developing improved CVD recipes
for our graphene synthesis. He has also built a new characterization
tool that allows us to characterize the non-linear properties of
graphene.

Eric Dattore, e-mail: eric.dattore_at_gmail.com
Eric
is working on a new technique to transfer single atomic layer graphene
from a copper surface to optical substrates. His method is based on an
electro-chemical process as opposed to the standard chemical
wet-etching technique. |

Jacob Rothenberg,
e-mail: jrothenb_at_u.rochester.edu
NNIN REU
program Summer
2012. Jacob
was working on top-gated graphene electro-optic modulators. Despite the
challanging process, he succeeded to develop a thin-film deposition
process that would not harm graphene. He created a series of working
electro-optic modulators on glass substrates.

e-mail: Jonah.Miller_at_Colorado.EDU
CU
honors student. Partially funded through UROP.
I
am a physics and math major. I previously worked on optimizing the
growth of single atomic layer graphene on copper surfaces by chemical
vapor deposition and their transfer onto arbitrary substrates. I am
studying the effects of the environment on the damage process of
graphene induced by ultrafast laser pulses. Jonah successfully defended his thesis in Nov. 2011. |
