Dr. Piner received his Ph.D. from Purdue University, in Solid State Physics in 1990. Since then, he has worked at Appalachian State, Temple, Northwestern, and Washington Universities. He joined the Ruoff group at Washington University in 1998. He moved with Dr. Ruoff from Washington University to Northwestern University in 2000, and then on to the University of Texas at Austin in the Fall of 2007.
"Park AFM is very nice and stable. If I put a sample in there and keep it there for a day, and come back the next day, the sample will be intact. For long-duration studies, one thing a researcher worries about is thermal stability to avoid thermal drift. The temperature stability of Park AFM is nice and consistent." |
