Nolan Olaso

Undergraduate Research Assistant

Micron School of Materials Science & Engineering

Born and raised here in Boise, Idaho, Nolan grew up with a love for the outdoors, backpacking and hiking often with his father. Drawn to STEM early, Nolan recalls eagerly waiting at home for his older brother to return from school and teach him what he had learned that day in science class. This love of learning followed Nolan throughout high school; where he graduated with his Associates of Arts in addition to his high school diploma. In high school, Nolan initially planned on pursuing a degree in aerospace engineering, but he discovered a passion for computers after researching and building his own system during junior year. Nolan matriculated at Boise State in 2021, and began pursuing a B.S. in Electrical Engineering, hoping to learn more about semiconductors and semiconductor devices. Excited by the widespread use and numerous applications of atomic force microscopy (AFM) in semiconductor research, he hopes to learn all he can in the Surface Science Lab (SSL) before graduating in spring of 2025.
