Dr. Fábio Barachati

Visiting researcher - Advanced Photonics Lab, CNR Nanotec in Lecce, Italy - one month.

Masters internship at the "Hybrid Systems at Low Dimension" group, Institut Néel, Grenoble, France. Advisor: Vincent Bouchiat Main tasks: - Clean-room fabrication of suspended graphene membranes integrated onto optical fibers; - Graphene characterization by atomic-force, Raman and scanning electron microscopy techniques; - Optical characterization of nanomechanical resonators.

Three-week internship at Hewlett-Packard Laboratories (HP Labs) in Palo Alto, CA, USA, working in the group of R. Stanley Williams on the topic of memristors. Participated in the development of an adaptive endurance test setup for memristor samples. Developed, characterized and integrated an electronic circuit to the existing LabVIEW FPGA software.

Undegraduate internship - "Scanning Probe Microscopy" group. Studied the switching mechanisms of memristive devices in collaboration with HP Labs. Provided support to an x-ray diffraction experiment for the characterization of conducting channels in memristors, developed electronic circuits for instrumentation and LabVIEW applications for electrical characterization and data acquisition. Acquired and processed images from Scanning Force Microscopy and Pressure Modulated Conductance Microscopy techniques.
