Contact Information

Andrew Berglund is a Project Leader in the CNST Nanofabrication Research Group. He received an A.B. in Physics with a minor in Mathematics from Dartmouth College, where he was a Barry M. Goldwater scholar, and a Ph.D. in Physics from the California Institute of Technology, where he was an NSF Graduate Research Fellow. During his Ph.D., he pioneered a new method for studying fluorescent nanoparticles by controlling their motion with real-time feedback. Andrew spent two years as an NRC postdoctoral research associate in the CNST Electron Physics Group, where he worked on laser cooling of novel atomic species with applications to nanofabrication, and he closely collaborated on nanoparticle tracking research. He joined the staff of the Nanofabrication Research Group in 2008, where his main research interests are the effects of fluctuations and noise in nanoscale systems, and strategies for controlling these systems with real-time feedback.
