Mohammad Usman Qureshi

Responsible for contributing to the Research, Development and Characterization of company's proprietary materials. Specifically this includes establishing processes of Nano and Micro scale fabrication, performing spin resonance measurements as well as participating in other material characterization methodologies.

1) Synthesis and characterization of pyrite nanowires and thin films. Synthesis of nanowires and thin films by thermal gas phase reaction with Di-Tert-Butyl-Di-Sulfide as the sulfur precursor. Characterization techniques include: Scanning Electron Microscopy (Independent user), X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy, Transmission Electron Microscope and Cyclic Voltammetry. 2) Helping the undergraduate students with their thesis work and assisting them in the clean-room. 3) Clean room processing.
