The faculty represent a diverse array of academic backgrounds with degrees from institutions across the country and professional backgrounds from industry (IBM, Lucent, DuPont, Kimberly Clark) and national laboratories (National Institute of Standards and Technology). This diversity is also clearly evident in the interdisciplinary modern research environment of the department with topics of interest ranging from photovoltaics to biomaterials. Joint and secondary faculty appointments exist with Physics, Chemical Engineering, and Chemistry/Biochemistry. Finally, entrepreneurship exists both at the academic training level with joint MSEG/business school courses and as intellectual property and start-up companies growing from faculty research. Please explore the faculty/research relationship by either faculty name or research topic of interest.
