Graduate student Thomas Ferron has been awarded a two-year postdoctoral fellowship from the National Research Council to conduct research at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Gaithersburg, MD. There he will continue his research in developing and applying resonant soft X-ray scattering on polymeric or other molecular systems.
The prestigious award is a competitive fellowship from the NRC Research Associateships Program for postdoctoral fellows to work at government laboratories across the country. This includes NIST, the EPA, the Air Force Research Lab, the Army Research Lab, NOAA, etc.
Thomas will join the Polymers Processing group in the Materials Science and Engineering Division working with Dr. Daniel Sunday on polarized resonant X-ray reflectivity. Congratulations Thomas!
