Bryan Esser

Research

His current research will focus primarily on the study of double perovskite thin films and heterostructures for their application to spintronics. These materials are provided by a collaboration with the Physics and Chemistry Departments. Studying these materials at the atomic level is made possible by use of the high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM), especially high-angle annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM) and the FEI ChemiSTEM^TM which can provide atomic resolution energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). Additionally, HAADF-STEM image simulations will be compared to experimental images for interpretation purposes. 

Education & Experience

Bryan received his bachelors degree in Materials Science from The Ohio State University in 2011. After graduating, he went on to work for Owens Corning at their Science and Technology campus in Granville, Ohio. While there, Bryan worked in the Analytical Materials Research Group as a microscopist studying all ranges of materials from glass and glass fiber composites to metals and minerals.
