Elham Mohimi, Ph.D. student in MatSE at Illinois, has been selected to receive an Outstanding Graduate Student Award. The award, worth $5,000, was made possible by a generous gift from Lam Research Corporation. The approaches she uses are part of an emerging new paradigm for the fabrication of nanoscale structures and devices. In the future, nanoscale devices will be even smaller and more tightly packed than is the case today.
