Keith O'Doherty
Welcome to Keith O'Doherty's web page at The Picolab. I am native Irishman who was transplanted to Southern California at a young age. I attended high school in Thousand Oaks, CA before going to college at The University of Arkansas where I received my BS Cum Laude in Chemistry and ran track under the most successful college coach in any sport, John Mc Donnell. The summer before my senior year I worked with Dr Vojislav Srdanov at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and, while I was at Arkansas, I had the privilege of working in Dr Peter Pulay's lab on my senior thesis. I am a second year Ph.D. student in Dr Gimzewski's lab and I am currently getting acquainted with the workings of the nanoworld. My work here at UCLA is focused on photothermal spectroscopy with bimetallic cantilevers.
