Jeirus Jose is a senior physics undergraduate at San Francisco State University who completed an NSF-REU summer research experience in the Fullerton lab. He is working on a project in collaboration with Prof Jenny Laaser in Chemistry at Pitt. The Fullerton and Laaser labs are teaming up to study the properties of a new type of ionic liquid, with the goal of imparting new device characteristics in field-effect transistors made from two-dimensional crystals. When not in the lab, Jeirus enjoys cooking, exploring Pittsburgh, and sports.
