Brian Hosterman, 博士学位, received his Bachelor of Science in physics at Denison University in Granville, 俄亥俄州. He then attended the University of Nevada, 拉斯维加斯, where he earned both his Master of Science and 博士学位 in physics. After graduating, he was hired as a postdoctoral research associate at the New College of 佛罗里达 in Sarasota, 佛罗里达.
Hosterman is an experimental physicist, with a strong background in vibrational spectroscopy and x-ray diffraction. He has begun to synthesize and characterize materials with applications towards nuclear and renewable energies.
Hosterman is recruiting CMU physics majors to assist with these projects, which will help the students develop professional laboratory skills that will benefit the students in graduate school or careers after CMU.
