Jaret Lee

Jaret has worked with Professor Junichiro Kono on research in carbon nanotube spectroscopy. As one of the first students to participate in the NanoJapan Program, he worked with Dr. Kazu Suenaga and Dr. Sumio Iijima at the Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (AIST) in Tsukuba, Japan, studying nanotube peapods using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Jaret returned to Japan last year to intern at NTT Photonics Laboratories, analyzing a micro-mirror device useful for packing optical devices.

After graduation, Jaret plans to begin graduate studies in Electrical Engineering at Columbia University in New York City before KAUST officially opens in 2009. He will study nanomaterials and related electronic and energy applications, majoring in Materials Science and Engineering.
