About this team member

Neil graduated from Notre Dame with his PhD in physical chemistry in the fall of 1995. His dissertation (w/ Dennis Jacobs) focused on studies of energy and electron transfer in ion/surface scattering experiments. He obtained his BS in chemistry from Santa Clara College in 1989.

Neil was in charging of designing and building a new set of chambers for surface IR and LEED. He is shown below in front of the completed system. It is directly attached via a gate valve to our reactors and X-ray photoemission spectrometer.

Neil completed a beautiful series of IR experiments of H8Si8O12 clusters on Si before moving on to Boise, Idaho.  He now works for Micron.
