Since 2001, his contributions have been instrumental to the development and understanding of epitaxial graphene on silicon carbide.\u0026nbsp; Professor First\u0026#39;s Ph.D. students have earned several university-wide awards and one national honor.\u0026nbsp; He has served his profession in several capacities, including as founding Chair of the Magnetic Interfaces and Nanostructures Division of the AVS.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"In this talk, Prof. Phillip First  will discuss some of the ideas behind nanoelectronic applications of 2D and topological materials."}],"uid":"27863","created_gmt":"2016-06-17 11:48:10","changed_gmt":"2017-04-13 21:15:34","author":"Christa Ernst","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2016-12-13T12:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2016-12-13T13:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2016-12-13T13:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2016-12-13 17:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2016-12-13 18:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2016-12-13 18:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"1271","name":"NanoTECH"},{"id":"197261","name":"Institute for Electronics and Nanotechnology"},{"id":"198081","name":"Georgia Electronic Design Center (GEDC)"},{"id":"213771","name":"The Center for MEMS and Microsystems Technologies"},{"id":"213791","name":"3D Systems Packaging Research Center"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"4315","name":"nano@tech"},{"id":"107","name":"Nanotechnology"},{"id":"13305","name":"Phillip First"},{"id":"166968","name":"the Institute for Electronics and Nanotechnology"},{"id":"167735","name":"School of Materials Science \u0026 Engineering"},{"id":"429","name":"graphene"},{"id":"172768","name":"2D materials"},{"id":"167011","name":"moore\u0027s law"},{"id":"609","name":"electronics"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:david.gottfried@ien.gatech.edu\u0022\u003Edavid.gottfried@ien.gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
