Graduate Students

Rolando A. Fimbres Grijalva 

Joined in March 2024; pursuing Ph.D. in Physics 

Rolando graduated from Universidad de Sonora (UNISON), Mexico, with a B.S. in Physics in 2021. His early research experiences at UNISON focused on utilizing Density Functional Theory (DFT) simulations to investigate the behavior of graphene in doped schemes. He is interested in leveraging physics tools to advance biological research, and delves into the realm of NV-NMR spectroscopy that can be used to investigate biological samples at both micro and nanoscales.
