VFP - Visiting Faculty Program
May 28 - August 2, 2013
The Visiting Faculty Program (VFP) seeks to increase the research competitiveness of faculty members and their students at institutions historically underrepresented in the research community in order to expand the workforce vital to the Department of Energy (DOE) mission areas. As part of the program, selected university/college faculty members collaborate with DOE laboratory research staff on a research project of mutual interest. Faculty member participants may invite up to two students (one of which may be a graduate student) to participate in the research project.
Ames Lab provides hands-on research opportunities in materials science in the following research areas:
- Nanostructured Photocatalysts
- Polymer Nanocomposites
- Nanocasting for a new generation of smart nanodevices
- Mass spectrometric bio-oil analysis
- Microfiber fabrication processes
- Materials discovery and design
- Experimental nanomagnetism
