  • Dr. Weidian C. Shen is a professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, EMU, a member of the American Physical Society (APS) and a member of Federal Society of Coatings Technology (FSCT).  He obtained his BS and MS degree in physics from Fudan University , China, in 1968 and 1982, respectively, and obtained his Ph.D. degree from Wayne State University , MI, in 1988.  Before he joined Eastern Michigan University, he worked in Truman State University from 1988 to 1991.

  • Dr. Xiaomei Wu is a research associate in the surface science laboratory. She obtained her Ph.D. from Fudan University, China, in 2001. She uses a Localized Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscope (LEIS) to study the corrosion mechanism of metals covered by multilayered coatings.

  • Eva Montalvo is a lecturer and researcher at EMU. She received a MS from EMU in Physics Research in 2004 and currently teaches several credit hours of classes here each semester. She is working on the LEIS project with Dr. Wu as well as the Nano Indenter XP with Jeremy.

  • Rene Crombez is a Masters candidate at EMU and works full time in the lab as a research associate.

  • Jeremy McMinis has a bachelors degree in Economics from New College of Florida but has returned to his first love, physics. He is a National Merit finalist and has won numerous awards and scholarships in the EMU physics department. He is interested in all fields of physics and hopes to go get a Ph.D. in physics.
