Lab Facilities (Crothers Engineering Hall 350) The facilities in the PMNS lab include: Materials Preparation - two sputtering systems to fabricate multi-layered thin film structures; X-ray structural characterization; Thermal treatment under controlled environment in ultra-high …
… Society in Las Vegas. It is an international gathering with more than 10,000 participants. Their research on Heusler alloys was undertaken at the direction of associate professor Parashu Kharel, who has National Science Foundation funding for the work. The purpose of the work is to find an alloy that will require less battery power for electronic devices such as computers and phones. The students synthesized and tested different alloys in the Kharel’s physics materials and nanoscience lab in Crothers Engineering Hall. Testing didn’t produce … at a nuclear power plant, a hospital or in the space program. Baker is also planning to graduate in May 2024. This summer he plans to continue his research on spintronic and permanent magnet materials under Kharel. His 10-weeks summer research will be partially supported by funds from the National Science Foundation and by NASA EPSCoR. He said was influenced to …
… Research helps SDSU senior refine career path When Sioux Falls native Zachary Lehmann came to South Dakota State University , he set his sights on becoming a medical physicist. “In AP physics class (at Washington High School), I was exposed to the field of medical and health physics, such as radiation therapies for cancer. That … it has been Lehmann’s experiences with research at SDSU and the Mayo Clinic that helped refine his career path. During his second semester at State, associate physics professor Parashu Kharel offered Lehmann an opportunity to do research on semiconductor materials. That experience helped him get a Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship in molecular … going into medical school or graduate work in biomedical engineering or becoming a research scientist at a hospital or national laboratory working with radiation therapy, medical imagery and nuclear medicine. “Undergraduate research requires commitment and motivation to put in the time and effort to do productive research,” Kharel said. “Zach is a highly …
