Understanding of Biosystems: An Introduction to Biomolecules,
Bionanostructures, and Light" (under review).
- Oct 18, 2007: Manuscript accepted, "Fluorescence
dynamics of three UV-B sunscreens", Rajagopal Krishnan & Thomas
M. Nordlund, Journal of Fluorescence, DOI 10.1007/s10895-007-0264-3
- Upcoming:
- Nov 1, 2007: Seminar, St. Edmund's College,
University of Cambridge, UK: "Modern Physics:
does "God" fit in here somewhere?"
- Nov, 2007: Teach classes to 18 Samford

Light and Sunscreens"
Aug
15, 2007, the Department of
Physics appoints David Hilton
as assistant professor.
Dr.
Hilton received his Ph. D
from Cornell University in
Applied Physics in 2002. He
then had post-doctoral position
at the Center for Integrated
Nanotechnology at Los Alamos
National Lab. Subsequently,
he was a post doctoral researcher
at the Carbon Nanotechnology
Laboratory and the Department
of Electrical Engineering
at Rice University. His
research focuses on ultrafast
terahertz spectroscopy of
correlated electron systems,
semiconductors, ferromagnetic
semiconductors, and carbon-based
semiconductors (carbon nanotubes,
graphene). In
addition, he plans on expanding
his research to include imaging
using infrared and terahertz
sources.
June
2007: Hadiyah-Nicole
Green wins the NPSC Fellowship
The
National Physical Science Consortium
and the National Security Agency
have awarded Hadiyah-Nicole
Green the National
Physical Science Consortium
Graduate Fellowship. This
fellowship is awarded to tomorrow’s
most promising science scholars
aspiring to obtain a doctoral
degree in the physical sciences.
Green,
a native of St. Louis, Missouri,
is currently a doctoral graduate
student in the Department of
Physics at UAB with an emphasis
in Optics & Lasers. Under
the advisement of UAB Professor
Sergey Mirov, Ph.D. (http://www.phy.uab.edu/~mirov),
she is engaged in research
to develop and improve a non-invasive
nano-enabled method for a laser-based
cancer treatment.
Green,
a poet and spoken-word artist,
has earned a B.S. degree from
Alabama A&M
University in Physics where
she once reigned as Miss AAMU. She
plans to pursue a career in
medical physics. However,
her ultimate career goals are
to become a university president
and an administrator of an
international organization. |
