EDUCATION
Ph.D., chemistry, Harvard University, March, 1992.
B.S., chemical engineering, The University of Michigan, April, 1983.
Postdoctoral research associate, chemical engineering dept., The University of Illinois, 12/1991-8/1993.
TEACHING INTERESTS
I teach undergraduate and graduate courses in materials science and engineering (ES 260), reactor design (CH 345), microelectronic circuit fabrication (ES 357/557), surface reactivity: applications to microelectronics and catalysis (CH 441/541), biochemical engineering (CH 465), and corrosion engineering (ES 464/564). The course outlines can be accessed below.
ES 260: Introduction to Materials Science and Engineering
ES357/ES557/EE345 Microelectronic Circuit Fabrication
CH 441/541: Surface Reactivity: Applications to Microelectronics and Catalysis
CH 465: Biochemical Engineering
CH 345: Chemical Reactor Analysis
ES 464/564: Corrosion Engineering
RESEARCH INTERESTS
My research focuses on applying knowledge of the fundamentals of the solid-liquid interface to interesting problems in semiconductor processing, nanotechnology, biosensors, and fuel cells. This often involves the use of analytical techniques involving electrochemistry and spectroscopy, as well as mathemtical modeling of reaction and transport processes. Please see the links above for further details.
A joint project with Prof. Rasmussen (Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering) and Prof. Faber (ex-Department of Communication and Media) to develop multimedia software on Nanomaterials Science and Engineering has just been completed. This software is available over the Internet. Undergraduate research opportunities exist at Clarkson during the school year and during the summer.
