Background

About Roger Walker

I am a materials scientist specializing in the electrical characterization of polymeric dielectric materials, with prior experience in the radiation damage of semiconductors and surface characterization of layered nanomaterials. Over the span of my doctoral studies (2017-2020) and postdoctoral research (2021-2023), I have achieved the following:* Developed skills in electrical characterization, including but not limited to.** Dielectric spectroscopy ** Thermally stimulated depolarization current ** Current-voltage measurement ** Polarization * Published 3 first-author articles and 1 book chapter * Presented 3 technical talks and 4 posters * Co-chaired a symposium at an American Chemical Society conference * Planned and ran internal events promoting a safety culture * Planned and ran community events promoting science communication * Awarded a Sloan Foundation scholarship In addition, during the time of my Master's thesis (2014-2017), I have achieved the following:* Developed skills in materials characterization, including but not limited to.** X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy ** Raman spectroscopy ** Scanning electron microscopy * Developed skills in nanofabrication and atomic layer deposition * Published 3 first-author articles and 1 review paper * Presented 4 posters
