As the graduate director for the department, I help
maintain the vitality of our graduate program. In addition to serving on departmental and college-wide
committees, contributions to the international scientific community include reviewing journal articles (2-3 per month),
instrument proposals (~10 per year) and funding proposals (2-3
per year). As the past-chair of the Magnetic Interfaces and Nanostructures
Division of the AVS Science and Technology Society, I am assisting the
organization of divisional symposium at the 2009 International AVS Meeting in San
Jose.
