Undergraduate Research Assistant
Department of Materials Science and Engineering
Lejmarc is an undergraduate research assistant pursuing his degree in Materials Science and Engineering and is working with the Knowlton Research Group on the DNA nano fabrication aspect of their project. He joined the group in the beginning of the fall semester 2010. He is currently involved in Physical Vapor Deposition, Photolithography processing, and Electron Beam Lithography (EBL), which entails the use of Scanning Electron Microscopy. He is working with the group to produce electrical test structures for the investigation of DNA origami.
