Senior Bradley Golder, PASSHE Chancellor John C. Cavanaugh and LHU junior Jacob Cox enjoyed a discussion of LHU undergraduate research in nanotechnology.

LOCK HAVEN, Pa. -
When John C. Cavanaugh, Chancellor of the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE) toured the Nanoscience facilities at Lock Haven University, he met with two students majoring in Applied Physics with a concentration in Nanotechnology. Both students are involved in cutting-edge research in nanotechnology, working on projects with practical applications for industry and consumer use, under the supervision of Dr. Marian Tzolov, Associate Professor of Physics.

Hughesville resident Bradley Golder talked about his work on ZnO nanowires for possible future use in gas sensors, solar cells and memory storage. Jacob Cox, a junior from Jersey Shore, is working on modifying the formation of light emitting diodes (LEDs) to make the process more cost effective while maintaining the same performance.

Later in the day, Golder and Cox addressed a large audience of students, faculty and campus guests at a Nanotechnology Awareness Day program. Golder, a senior and president of the LHU Nanotech Club, talked about the fun that club members have participating in a variety of nanotechnology-related activities. Cox, a junior, spoke about the learning opportunities provided by the LHU Nanoscience Program.
