Abstract
Gokul Gopalakrishnan has a Ph.D. in Physics from the Ohio State University studying transport in two-dimensional electron gases. As a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University, he investigated the metal-insulator transition in thin film and nanostructured vanadium dioxide. At the University of Wisconsin - Madison,Gopalakrishnan developed x-ray scattering tools to probe phonons in nanostructures. Currently at the Engineering Physics Department at the University of Wisconsin - Platteville, he is creating techniques to fabricate crystalline semiconductor nanostructures. Gopalakrishnan is on the board of the Regional Materials and Manufacturing Network, an academic-industry consortium to streamline materials research and development.
