My name is Yufeng Hou, a fourth year Ph.D. student in the group. I am interested in
metallic magnetic multilayers and microstructures. Research focused on designing,
fabrications, characterization and simulation of magnetic microstructures. Having
expertise in cleanroom microfabrication, thin film deposition, scanning probe microscope and micromagnetic simulations, I am passionate about technology innovations and their potentials to change our lives.

I am working on a novel perpendicular magnetic anisotropic (PMA) system— L10 FePd system
epitaxially deposited onto MgO(001) substrate.
My main goal is to achieve a new recipe for ordered L10 FePd thin film with different kind of additive
under low deposition temperature and post-thermal process. Moreover, I am going to study the influence
of nanopatterning on the magnetization reversal process of L10 FePd system to see the deep physics inside
through a variety of advanced technique.
Ph.D in Materials Science and Engineering, University of Washington ( – present)
I recieved my BSc and MSc in Materials Science and Engineering from Sharif University of Technology, Tehran, Iran. I have extensive experience in synthesis, characterization and conjugation of different types of nanoparticles and polymers for in-vitro and in-vivo targeting, imaging and intracellular delivery of therapeutic agents. In Prof. Krishnan’s lab, I am using synthetic magnetic nanocarriers, as contrast agents for early diagnosis of cancers using magnetic particles imaging (MPI), which is an ultrasensitive alternative imaging technique for MRI.

BS Chemistry, Seattle Pacific University, Seattle WA.
During my graduate work, I am working towards the design of novel synthesis of FeS2 nanomaterials for use in low-cost, non-toxic photovoltaics. Outside of graduate work, I enjoy sewing, cycling, rock climbing, and am trained in classical ballet.
My research seeks to develop a low-cost, non-toxic material for solar energy generation.

Bachelor of Science in Physics, minor Mathematics, University of California, Santa Barbara 2011
Ryan was born and raised in Goleta, California. He studied Physics and Mathematics at the nearby University of California, Santa Barbara. As an undergrad he was involved in several research projects, and fell in love with experimental science. He has recently joined the Krishnan group and is beginning the Materials Science and Engineering PhD program in Fall 2012. Outside of his scientific interests, he is an avid musician, primarily a trombonist, and dancer of a variety of social and ballroom dances from swing to tango, and everything in between.

Byung Seok Kwon
I was born in Seoul, South Korea. I moved to the Philippines when i was in 6th grade. After graduating from International School Manila, I moved onto Duke University in North Carolina, to major in Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science. I initiated my research career in 2009 in Professor Zauscher's lab, and continued until graduation in 2012.
My research interest lies in Surface and interface engineering of thin films of bio/chemical materials, including surface characterization and lithography.
I am joining Professor Krishnan's lab in Fall of 2012 in University of Washington as a graduate student, and possibly further on as a ph.D candidate.
