Yu Sato

Yu Sato received her Ph.D. degreee in September, 2005. Her dissertation title was “Thin Film Microscopy of Pb on Ge(111) Phase Transitions and FexNi(1-x) on Cu(111) Magnetic Surface Alloy.”

She was a postdoctoral fellow at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory for two years and then was a postdoctoral fellow with the Chiang group at UC Davis in 2008-2009.

Yu is now an Application Scientist at Gatan, Inc. in Pleasanton, California.
