Andrew Shelton graduated from WFU in 2004 with a BS in Physics.  While at WFU, he worked with both Dr. Holzwarth and Dr. Bonin in the WFU summer undergraduate research program.  His final project with Dr. Bonin on "Nonlinear motion of optically torqued nanorods" was published in Physcial Review E.

In 2006, Andrew received an MS degree in Electrical Engineering from NCSU.  While at NCSU, he worked on a joint project with the Naval Research Labs on an optically-based sensor project in which I designed, built, and tested optically based MEMs devices which could possibly be used as chemical sensors.

After graduating from NCSU, Andrew took a job with RF Micro Devices in Greensboro, NC where he now works as a Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) Engineer.  In MBE, heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBT's) and pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistors (pHEMT's) are grown epitaxially. These devices are used by RFMD in many wireless based applications.
