MS graduate students Kevin Miller and Kelsey Beavers featured in Vanderbilt News
Jan. 2, 2015—KEVIN MILLER Kevin Miller reflected in his optoelectronic device. With a slight turn of the tweezers holding it, an inch-long, mirrored chip reflects the face of its creator. Less obvious than Kevin Miller’s smile are tiny filters on the chip’s surface that he hopes will one day replace the electronic components inside computers. Miller, a...
