Marcelo Kuroda received his B.S. in Physics in 2002 from the University of Buenos Aires in Argentina and Ph.D. program in Physics at the University of Illinois – Urbana Champaign in 2009. In his doctoral work he studied the electronic transport in carbon nanotubes under the guidance of Prof. J.-P. Leburton at the Beckman Institute. Subsequently he held a postdoctoral research associate position at IBM T.J. Watson Research Center where he work on physical properties of graphene and a novel electromechanical switch termed the piezoelectronic transistor. In January 2014, he joined the Department of Physics at Auburn University as an assistant professor.
