Fellows

CNF Fellows are Cornell graduate students, who are also CNF Users, with a part-time fellowship that supplements their graduate research assistantships. They provide information for current and future CNF users about new techniques, recipes, and procedures, and also current performance of tools such as etchers. They do this through the CNF user process wiki, data placed at the tools, and on our user-accessible file server. The typical duration of the fellowship is 1 year.
