Curriculum Vitae of Dr. Daniel Grimm

My major scientific interests are:

Development of field effect transistors based on strained semiconducting nanomembranes.
Fabrication and thermoelectric characterization of hybrid superlattice stacks.
Theoretical investigation of stability as well as transport properties in an electric and magnetic field of new types of single-walled carbon nanotubes.
Synthesis of individual SWCNT as well as oxide nanowires. Setup of electron-beam lithographic tools to successfully contact and measure the synthesized nanostructures.
