Postdoc Researchers
Sujoy Ghosh - Sujoy completed his B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees from the University of Calcutta in India, in 2006 and 2008. Then he completed his M.S. and Ph.D. in Physics from Southern Illinois University in 2011 and 2016. He joined the flexible electronics group at UNH in January of 2017 and worked jointly in the Hollen, Song, and Tsavalas labs. His postdoctoral position was supported by the UNH Center for Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Innovations (CAMMI). He is now working as a staff scientist at Los Alamos National Laboratory.
Jason Moscatello- Jason received his B.S. in Physics with a minor in Women & Gender Studies from The College of New Jersey in 2000, an M.S in Physics from The College of William & Mary in 2002, and his Ph.D. in Engineering Physics from Michigan Technological University in 2010. His dissertation research focused on growing carbon nanotubes and developing the methods required to integrate them into molecular electronic and sensing devices. Jason's post-doctoral work was at Mount Holyoke College, where he developed a new method for measuring trap states in quantum dot and organic field effect transistors. At UNH, Jason developed MATLAB solutions for lab needs, and expanded the group's atomic force microscopy capability. He is now a Senior Algorithm Engineer and Physicist at Textron Systems, MA.
