Michael Tarlov and Richard Cavicchi, CSTL, NIST
| NIST lost one of its brightest young stars, Gregory E. Poirier, who
passed away in September at the age of 39. During Greg's brief career at
NIST he made many noteworthy contributions in the areas of surface science
and chemical sensing. While Greg was recognized primarily for his rigorous
STM studies of alkanethiol monolayers on gold, he also was active in projects
ranging from micromachined devices to detection of explosives. This talk
will review some of the highlights of Greg's STM work and also touch on
some of his lesser-known contributions while a member of the Process Sensing
Group at NIST.
