ROBIN HAVENER
I just graduated from the School of Engineering and Applied Science at the University of Pennsylvania with a BSE in Materials Science and Engineering. I'm looking forward to attending graduate school in the fall in the department of Applied and Engineering Physics at Cornell University to research an exciting, but as-of-yet undetermined, topic in electronic materials.
During my time as an undergraduate, I have worked on several research projects, including:
- Fabricating and characterizing ambipolar pentacene transistors with Professor Cherie Kagan at Penn.
- Studying arrays of semiconducting nanoparticles using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and electrostatic force microscopy (EFM) with Professor Marija Drndic at Penn.

This work was supported by a Cornell Center for Materials Research REU (Research Experience for Undergraduates).

A bit of background: I grew up in Lynnfield, Massachusetts, a small town just north of Boston. I attended high school at The Governor's Academy (formerly Governor Dummer Academy), located in Byfield, Massachusetts, an even smaller town that's even further north of Boston. I am currently living in Philadelphia.
