Lewis professor awarded visiting faculty position at Argonne
ROMEOVILLE- Dr. John C. Parker, Lewis University assistant professor of physics and a Naperville resident, will be working among the most talented scientists in the world this summer as a Visiting Faculty at Argonne National Laboratory.
The Visiting Faculty Program provided by the U.S. Department of Energy is a nation-wide, research proposal competition that offers opportunities for faculty from eligible institutions to conduct research at national laboratories. Parker's proposal on Nanophotonics earned a position for himself and Lewis University undergraduate student Michael Sulwer of Morris for the 2018 summer.
During the experience, Parker will be working with Sulwer, supported by several Argonne research staff. The research proposes to enhance the sensitivity of optical chemical sensors using resonant plasmonic nanostructures deposited p-n junctions and LEDs.
