Kan Du

Kan Du is a CNST/UMD Postdoctoral Researcher in the Nanofabrication Research Group. He received a B.S. in Physics from the University of Science and Technology of China, and a Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, where he worked on self-assembly of nanoparticles at liquid-liquid interfaces.  Kan is currently working with Andrew Berglund on the development of new methods for tracking and monitoring fluorescent nanoparticles using real-time feedback control.
