41 minutes

In this interview I dive in with Professor Michael Arnold, exploring how to optimally take leverage research opportunities and how he honed into his technical interest. Throughout the conversation, Professor Arnold provides some key insights into what it takes to bring research ideas to reality and make meaningful contributions, at all stages of your journey.

We detail some techniques Prof. Arnold uses to invigorate the creative process, and the tactics he uses to take control of his time.

Professor Arnold leads the Advanced Materials for Energy and Electronics Group at the University of Wisconsin Madison. His research focuses on :

Carbon nanotubes – seamless cylinders of carbon only one billionth of a meter in diameter

Atomically thin sheets of graphene

Two-dimensional materials

Semiconducting molecules and polymers and

Heterostructures that integrate these components with conventional, macroscopic materials
