Jennifer E. Gerbi

Welcome to my home page. It's currently under construction, but you can find my updated CV on this page, as well as links to current research interests and the like. I am currently a postdoctoral associate at The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in the materials science and engineering department . I conduct research on the growth and analysis of novel diboride thin films, under the supervision of Professors Abelson and Girolami.

Previously, I worked at Argonne National Laboratory. I grew nanocrystalline diamond films using CVD, concentrating on the growth, characterization, and device fabrication of nitrogen-doped conductive nanocrystalline diamond.

I completed my Ph.D. in materials science and engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in John Abelson's group in 2001. I primarily studied the sputter deposition of thin silicon films, especially the effect of the ion/neutral bombardment ratio during growth. I received a M.S. in Physics from the University of Virginia in 1995, and my B.A. in Physics from Bard College in 1993.
