Selman Hershfield - My reaserch is on the theory of electrical transport in nanostructures. A nanostructure is an electrical device of order a nanometer in its smallest dimension. One nanometer is 0.000000001 meters. This is roughly one hundred times smaller than present commercial device. The study of nanostructures involves both fundamental physics and technological applications. External grants received:

• 1993-8 National Young Investigator Award (National Science Foundation)
  
• 1994 Grant from Texas Instruments
  
• 1995 Cottrell Scholars Award (Research Corporation)
  
• 1995-2000 Co-investigator Material University Research Initiative
