Kenneth Mossman manages the focused-ion-beam laboratory as well as actively supports several scanning electron microscopes of Arizona State University’s Center for High-Resolution Electron Microscopy. CHREM is a division of the Eyring Materials Center (EMC) that provides the greater ASU community with access to cutting edge transmission electron microscopy and sample preparation. His duties include training new users on the instrumentation, as well as running/preparing samples for other researchers.
Kenneth Mossman started out as a student worker in 1996 and has been working at ASU ever since. During the late '90s and early 2000s he worked for several different projects, including education-outreach programs such as the Interactive Nano-Visualization in Science and Engineering Education (IN-VSEE), the Patterns in Nature (PiN) Van and the Central Arizona Regional Science and Engineering Fair (CARSEF). During the 2000s and early 2010s, he worked the Center for Solid State Sciences (CSSS) - the predecessor to the EMC - in the Scanning Probe Microscopy lab. During the same time frame he was in charge of the FTIR spectroscopy lab and for a while was even the primary IT support for the group.
