Samantha Stout
Materials Science and Engineering

Samantha's interest in analytical methods for materials science stems from her previous research experiences which focused on nanotechnology applied to medicine. In her current research, she is working on developing methodologies for materials analysis and spectral diagnostic techniques where the "patients" are now artifacts of cultural heritage, and can be hundreds of years old! Stout came to UC San Diego after receiving her B.S. in materials science and engineering from Cornell University in Ithaca, NY. She received her M.S. in materials science and engineering at the University of California, San Diego, where she is currently working on her PhD. When not working on her research, Samantha enjoys hiking, cooking, and playing hockey and tennis.
