Dr. Glenn Agnolet

Biography

Professor Agnolet received a B.S. in Physics from Carnegie Mellon University in 1976, an M.S. from Cornell University in 1980, and a Ph.D. from Cornell University in 1983. He held a postdoctoral associate appointment at AT&T Bell Laboratories from 1982 to 1985 before joining the faculty at Texas A&M University in 1985. He was the recipient of the Presidential Young Investigator Award. Professor Agnolet's research interests lie in experimental low-temperature physics, where he studied the solid-liquid interface properties of 4He and the behavior of thin superfluid 4He films. His work utilizes cross-wire techniques for inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy (IETS) to study molecules on metallic surfaces and focuses on building low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopes (STM).
