A major component of our PREM program is the Summer Research
Experience for undergraduates at CMU. In summer 2004, a total of six FAMU
PREM Undergraduate Fellows (FPUFs) spent ten weeks at CMU performing research
in Materials Science. The students were assisted in their research by
faculty and graduate students. At the conclusion of their research experience,
they had written a paper and made two presentations to faculty and students
at CMU. The details of the FPUFs and their research topics are listed
below:
Velouse Pierre - Worked with Prof. Katayun Barmak on the Calorimetric
Studies of the A1 to L10 transformation in FeNiPt thin films.
Ana Erb - Worked with Prof. A. D. Rollett on the Analysis of
Grain Boundary Mobility in Commercially Pure Copper and Pure Nickel.
Diego Laboy - Worked with Prof. Greg Rohrer on the Lamellar
Morphology of Polypropylene Copolymers Crystallized on Mica.
Ivan Lopez - Worked with Prof. Robert Suter on
3-Dimensional X-Ray Diffraction Microscopy.
Ramou Akin-Cole - Worked with Prof. Paul Salvador on Nitride
Superlattice Thin Films for Superhard Coatings.
Jennifer Barrow - Worked with Prof. Michael McHenry on the
Mechanical Properties of Nanocomposite Alloys.
