معرفی
Cindy L Berrie is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Kansas and serves as the Departmental Honors Program Coordinator. She holds a B.S. from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (1992), a Ph.D. from the University of California-Berkeley (1997), and completed postdoctoral research at JILA, University of Colorado (1997-2000). Her research focuses on interfacial properties at the nanoscale, utilizing scanning probe microscopy to investigate biomolecule-surface interactions, nanofabrication, and electronic material properties. She has pioneered methods for fabricating nanostructures using scanning probe and particle lithography techniques.
