In response to an initiative by Dr. Bartels, the Semiconductor Research Corporation (SRC.org) started this year an undergraduate research internship program at its STARnet centers. In a nationwide competition, four of the 20+ undergraduate researchers of the Bartels lab were awarded summer fellowships. Recipients Sahar Naghibi, Gretel von Son Palacio, Daniel Lu and Thomas Empante (left to right) work on the growth and characterization of MoS2, MoSe2 and MoTe2 films on flat and nanoscale-patterned substrates.
