(2015) 6 Minute Introduction to Getting Things Done®

This is a 6 minute introduction to help you with productivity. It is a distilled version of Getting Things Done by David Allen. I made this video as part of a class regarding teaching skills. The slides are available here. A blank sheet for carrying out a BranDump is available here. Good luck, I hope this will be of use to you.

(2013) Armchair Quantum Wire on FoxHouston

Prof. Andrew Barron interviewed on MyFOX Houston. Discussing my publication in ACS Nano Letters about creating the Armchair Quantum Wire (AQW). The AQW will use single walled carbon nanotubes to revolutionize electricity conduction.

“Increased amplification of single walled carbon nanotubes“ published in Nano Letters linked here.

(2013) Armchair Quantum Wire By Using Amplification of Nanotubes
- Alvin Orbaek

Armchair Quantum Wire By Using Amplification of Nanotubes - Alvin Orbaek

(2011) Chemistry with Alvin.
Welcome to the Barron Group at Rice University

Mallam Phillips created this video during the summer of 2008, at Rice University with the help of CBEN. He was researching the synthesis of silver nanoparticles in the Barron research group. Alvin, a graduate student in the research group, speaks about the synthesis of the nanoparticles, the use of silver nanoparticles, as well mentioning some of his other work that relates to the growth of Single Wall Carbon Nanotubes.
