2018 12 Poster Presentation (eMicroscopy class)
Graduate students in the ECE 6960-006 (eMicroscopy) gave a poster presentation, a part of final project. This interdisciplinary course provides the fundamental knowledge about the (scanning) electron microscopy and the practical lab sessions at the Utah’s Nanofab. The poster session was open to public. Students, thank you for all your hard work!

2018 10 CdTe PV Workshop in Toledo, OH
Dr. Yoon attended the 2nd PV workshop and gave two talks. The focus of the workshop is to initiate a closer research community and identification of opportunities for collaborative research, specifically in CdTe.
2018 09 Popular SEM demo by David (Global Class Program)
We welcome Neugju high-school students visiting the University of Utah (Global Engagement Program). David Magginetti (PhD student in Yoon’s group) gave a brief introduction and a demo on scanning electron microscope (SEM). We looked at a coin (10 won) to find a secrete feature in the middle of the pagoda (DaBoTap). Ask students from Neungju High School (South Korea) what they found!
