EEMCS-SERVICES-NanoLab

Melissa Goodwin completed her Ph.D. in chemistry at Durham University in 2017 with a thesis entitled "Interactions of lactam containing compounds based on kinetic hydrate inhibition polymers." She then moved to the University of Twente to work in the groups of BNT and MNF on Mach-Zehnder interferometry for detection of virus-like particles. She then moved to the group of Complex Photonic Systems (COPS) working on the fabrication of nanophotonic structures in silicon. Melissa now works part time as a researcher in COPS, making photonically interesting materials as well as supervising students and part time for the MESA+ Nanolab as operator of the Focused Ion Beam (FIB).

Research profiles

I currently teach part of the Nanotechnology modules on Nanophotonics and Nanolithography as well as supervise students for the literature project of the AT course. I also work with the Saxion in Enschede for International Project Student Week and Nanoday. I have also supervised masters students from Chemistry, Applied Physics and Nanotechnology.

Courses academic year 2024/2025

Courses in the current academic year are added at the moment they are finalised in the Osiris system. Therefore it is possible that the list is not yet complete for the whole academic year.
