An Optical/Electrical System for Micro Droplet Screening

Yiyan Li, Fort Lewis College

The undergraduate researchers at Fort Lewis College developed an optical system to quantify single bacterium from environmental water samples. To improve signal detection in their system, they developed a neural network, a method in artificial intelligence.

Can magnetic quantum dots be catalysts too? Revisiting Co-doped ZnO nanoparticles for catalysis

Using a method developed by Gamelin Lab at UW in 2003 to study magnetic quantum dots, we synthesize Co-doped ZnO nanoparticles with varying Co atomic % inside ZnO nanoparticles.
