6. Why
Received training on AFM to acquire necessary research skills and techniques.
Install NanoTA Anasys system.
Once installed and properly interfaced we will be able to heat a local area of less than 100nm in diameter with temperatures of over 500 C to study thermal properties.

7. Summer Research
Use NanoTA Anasys System to study organic semiconductors.
Organic Semiconductor: organic material with conductivity between an insulator and metal.
Televisions, monitors, laser printers, solar cells ect.
Organic materials are prone to damage from ultraviolet radiation and heat.
Analyze durability of potential organic semiconductors.
Collaborating research with Wake Forest University on organic semiconductors.

8. ASU Science Expo, April 16th
Worked at booth with Scanning Electron Microscope and Visible Light Microscopes
1100 6th-12th grade students from 5 counties

9. Thanks Mentor, Dr. Coffey Anasys Instruments for loan of NanoTA system
National Science Foundation for grant which purchased the AFM
