As an NRF intern, I work closely with the principle scientist dealing with the synthesis
of nanoparticles. Originally from Paducah, Kentucky, I enrolled at Washington
University School of Engineering in Fall 2008. Along with the chemistry itself,
I am also interested in new and exciting applications of the nanoparticles the NRF
produces.

As an NRF intern, my primary role is to work with the principle scientist on the
synthesis of nanoparticles and also use the SEM, TEM and Raman microscope to analyze
our results. In the fall I will be a junior in the School of Engineering & Applied
Science at Wash U, studying Chemical and Environmental Engineering. Along with obtaining
valuable lab experience, I am also excited to learn more about the numerous applications
of nanotechnology.

Nathan Banka
As an NRF intern, I work primarily with soft lithography and characterization of
nanostructures using the atomic force microscope. I will graduate from Washington
University in December with a BS in Mechanical Engineering, and I plan to pursue
graduate studies in nanotechnology starting in Fall 2010.

Amelia Chen
As an NRF high school intern,
I work supporting the other researchers with their projects. I have experience
on the SEM and do demos for visitors to the facility. I am currently a junior
at Parkway North High School and wish to pursue a career in science after graduation.
