Research in Designing and Stabilizing Nanostructures in Metals

Jason Trelewicz has been interested in the field of materials science since he was a young child, when his father — an engineer — would bring him to work. In the materials lab at his father’s workplace, Trelewicz would zoom in on material surfaces by using optical microscopes, intrigued by all the unique features he would see as light interacted with varied samples.
