Enrique del Barco (group leader)

delbarco [at] ucf.edu

Project:  Convincing Proposal Writing to Seek Funds for the Guys/Gals below

Enrique dedicates 60% of his time to administer research for the College of Science, 35% to write proposals, letters of recommendation and paper reviews, 5% to get confused with the research reports from his students and 5% to annoy people in the lab from time to time (=105%, hyper-efficiency skills acquired at the University of Barcelona, Spain).

Ran Liu (Postdoc)

ranliu91 [at] gmail.com

Project:  Molecular Spintronics / Single-Electron Transistors

Ran works on the understanding of electric conductance through individual molecules bridging the gap between the two leads of a single-electron transistor. She does this both experimentally and theoretically (DFT). See more on these topics…

Isaac Ripoll (High school student)

Project:  Molecular Spintronics / Single-Electron Transistors

Isaac is on a 2-month research experience with us during the Summer of 2022 and is working on the understanding of electric conductance through individual molecules bridging the gap between the two leads of a single-electron transistor. See more on these topics…
