Professor Regina Ragan:

Prof. Ragan received her Ph.D. at the California Institute of Technology working with Prof.  Harry Atwater in 2002. Her Ph.D. thesis involved kinetics and thermodynamics of self-assembled nanostructures - experiment and theory. She then joined the Quantum Science Research group at Hewlett Packard Laboratories as a post doctoral scholar working with Stan Williams. As a post doc she continued her work on self-assembled nanostructures and also studied organic/inorganic interfaces. She has been at UCI since summer of 2004. Please see the research page for current research topics.
