Sangheon Lee Chemical Engineering From Seoul National University, Korea UT Austin: Department of Chemical Engineering   Sangheon Lee studies the structure and dynamics of defects and defect-dopant complexes in the silicon substrate as well as at the interface with gate oxide. His research also focuses on explaining and predicting the synthesis and structure of silicon nanoparticles embedded in amorphous silica, because of their technological relevance and potential in nanocrystal memories and optical interconnects. He uses first principles based atomistic modeling.   Master’s Fellows Hsiaojane Anna Chen Information Studies From Yale University UT Austin: School of Information   Hsiaojane Anna Chen's studies will focus on archives and special collections.
