Donald G. Prier, II is a first year graduate student of the Department of Physics at Southern University. He is a graduate of the Southern University Physics Department with an extensive background in the fields of Material Science and Solid State Physics. Donald has five years of experience in electrode, opti-electrode design and development. He has also done research for Louisiana State University, the University of California and San Jose State University for the past four years studying the quantum efficiencies of different materials used in electrode fabrication. Donald Prier was also one of the first students from Southern University to study synchrotron radiation at both the Advanced Light Source of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the Center for Advanced Microstructures and Devices of Louisiana State University. Donald is currently investingating the collecting of water on the surface of proton exchange membrane electrodes. His research goal is to remove the collecting water from the surface of the electrodes.
