Optoelectronics with Carbon Nanotubes

My parents have been steadfast supporters of my personal and academic pursuits no
matter what I wanted to do, through the meandering path I have taken to get to this point. I
cannot thank them enough for everything they have given me and done for me.
And last, but not least, I would like to thank my son, Samuel Nicholas Kinoshita-Millard,
who never once complained that I spent more time in the lab than with him. It is forever etched
in my memory how I would go to the library with him in tow and work for hours on end while he
sat quietly and read on his own. My everlasting gratitude to him for his unconditional love,
understanding and encouragement.
