S M Nayeem Arefin

Ph.D. Student in Materials Engineering

Bio:

S M Nayeem Arefin is a Ph.D. student in Materials Engineering at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL). His research focuses on the synthesis and characterization of size-controlled magnetic core-shell nanoparticles using inert gas condensation (IGC). Arefin earned his M.S. in Electrical Engineering from UNL as a Holling Fellow, researching the hydrothermal synthesis of lead halide perovskites. He did his undergraduate at Magna Cum Laude from IUB, with a research focus on enhancing thin-film solar cell efficiency with plasmonic nanoparticles.
