University Of Houston Work Values

Daily Duties at University Of Houston:

Research Assistant Professor, Department of Physics and Texas Center for Superconductivity: Manager of analytical TEM laboratory with x-ray energy dispersive spectrometer (XEDS) and electron-energy-loss spectrometer (EELS). Experience and accomplishments include: - Close collaboration with film growers employing molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), physical vapor deposition (PVD), and ion beam depostion. - Computer programming (FORTRAN) for instrumentation control and data analysis. - Electron scattering, TEM imaging, and EELS studies of noncrystalline carbon films including diamondlike carbon and highly textured fullerene-like carbon. Systematic studies of structure properties as a function of energy in ion-beam deposited carbon films. - Semiconductor thin-film alloys: TEM and x-ray studies of spontaneous surface-induced ordering with a view toward tailoring electronic properties. TEM and x-ray studies of spontaneous composition modulation in thin films as a possible method of fabricating self-organized nano-wires for nanotechnology and nanomaterials applications. - Probing electronic structure of decagonal quasicrystals by Compton x-ray scattering. - Growth and characterization of boron nitride and carbon nitride thin films — possible materials for super-hard coatings. - TEM studies of ion irradiation damage in high temperature superconductors. - Miscellaneous TEM studies of high temperature superconductors and various novel oxides,sulfides, nitrides, and silicides.

What they like about University Of Houston:

You highly value a work environment built on a formal structure, rules, and regulations. You do not enjoy the unpredictability of shifting priorities and deadlines that upset your routine. You require and enjoy direction, input and accountability as part of your work environment. You have a strong need to participate in making key decisions and feel left out if your superiors or co-workers do not seek your input when making decisions. You thrive on providing good customer service to both internal or external customers, and doing so makes you feel good.
