Joshua Veazey is a doctoral candidate in physics at Michigan State University in Stuart Tessmer's lab. He has accumulated nearly five years of experience with scanning probe microscopies, particularly scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). He was worked in a highly interdiscinplinary environment alongside microbiologists and physical chemists where his main research has been in investigating the electronic properties of a novel biological electron transport system, the pilus nanowires in Geobacter sulfurreducens. Additionally, his experience spans cryogenic STM, atomic force microscopy, and photolithography. His research interests involve the use of novel or conventional scanning probes, whether in biology, electronic characterization, or both.
Josh received his M.S. in physics at Michigan State University in 2006. Prior to that, he received his B.S. in physics at the University of Rochester in 2004, graduating with high distinction honors. At Rochester, he worked under the guidance of Dan Watson in measuring I-V characteristics of far-infrared detectors for future astronomical telescopes. His senior thesis involved an analysis of data from the Spitzer Space Telescope in 2004.
In his spare time, Josh is an avid runner. Other hobbies include hiking, biking, and reading.
