Keith Berry Jr.
Keith is a graduate student in the Ralph E. Martin Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Arkansas.
Keith Berry joined the NanoBio Photonics lab in the summer of 2010 as a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) student and continued on into the fall semester as a research assistant. He graduated with his B.S. in Chemical Engineering at the University of Arkansas in 2014 and has decided to continue on toward his PhD in Chemical Engineering. As an undergraduate, he conducted research in the fabrication of gold nanocomposites and thermal characterization of these nanocomposites. His research interests include fabrication of plasmonic nanoncomposites, photonics, and thermal characterization techniques.
