Chris Bracken

Chris is a Research Associate who received his B.S. in Electrical Engineering in the Circuits and Devices concentration from the University of Pittsburgh in 2015, as well as the Nanoscience and Engineering Certificate. Undergraduate work experience involved a Senior Design Project with Eaton and Undergraduate Research experience with Dr. Brian D’Urso’s Nanomaterials Research Group, being exposed to electronics design of a photodetector amplifier circuit for an optical trap and learning about growth and characterization of Graphene. Before joining the Ohodnicki Lab, Chris worked at Keystone Compliance and performed Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) tests for five years. Research interests include the standardization and characterization of magnetic materials, as well as potentially exploring electromagnetic interference with materials. In his spare time, he enjoys music, running, photography, and reading (particularly philosophy).
