Dr Stevanovic comes to UTSA after previous stints as a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University and the National Institute of Standards and Technology Her expertise involves insitu TEM/SEM characterization of materials under externally applied stimuli: temperature and gas.
Dr Morales earned his Ph D in Physics and Astronomy from The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) He provides user support at KAMC for the Panalytical Empyrean X-ray Diffractometer, JEOL JEM-2010F TEM, ARM 200F TEM, and the Focused Ion Beam system.
Adis is a Ph.D. student in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA). He supports KAMC’s daily operations by assisting users with instruments such as the SEM, Raman Spectroscope, Panalytical X-ray Diffractometer, and Atomic Force Microscope.
