Several co-op students banded together to create Canada's first Spatial Atomic Layer Deposition (SALD) system. It allows you to coat a surface with a substance layer a few atoms thick at a time. Professor Musselman plans to continue working on a commercial scale version of the system.
PhD students Alex Jones, Khaled Ibrahim, and Abdullah Alshehri presented their work at the Fall MRS meeting in Boston in the Advanced ALD & CVD techniques and applications and Beyond Graphene 2D Materials—Synthesis, Properties and Device Applications symposia.
In addition to co-organizing the Advanced ALD & CVD techniques and applications symposium, professor Musselman presented a talk in the silicon photovoltaics symposium.
As part of our ongoing project to bring nanomaterial technology to the public health sector, professor Musselman recently published a new paper Electrochemical removal of anodic aluminium oxide templates for the production of phase-pure cuprous oxide nanorods for antimicrobial surfaces.
Professor Musselman was awarded the Engineering Research Excellence Award at the annual Faculty of Engineering Awards dinner.
An EREA is awarded every year to one assistant professor at the University of Waterloo for outstanding research accomplishments.
Professor Musselman is one of the organizers for the symposium Advanced ALD and CVD techniques and applications at the Fall MRS Meeting in Boston December 1 to December 6. We are looking forward to an exciting program with over 140 presentations and posters.
Collaborator Ahmed Elsharabasy's paper Near zero-bias MIIM diode based on TiO2/ZnO for energy harvesting applications has been published in AIP Advances.
