Professor Douglas B. Chrisey provides the organization with expertise in laser-material interactions and ablation, laser particle formation, and laser-based processes as well as biomaterial and tissue interactions.
Prof. Chrisey received his Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Virginia in 1987. He then joined the US Naval Research Laboratory as a Postdoctoral Research Associate before becoming a staff member in 1988. He spent the next 17 years there and his research interests include the novel laser fabrication of thin films and coatings of advanced electronic, sensor, biomaterial, and energy storage. These materials were used in device configurations for testing and typically have an improved figure-of-merit.
He is considered one of the pioneers in the field of Pulsed Laser Deposition and was the lead inventor of MAPLE processing technique. He has organized many laser-based conferences around the world and he publishes extensively in applied physics journals and gives frequent invited talks.
Prof. Chrisey became the Deputy Director of the Center for Nanoscale Science and Engineering at North Dakota State University in 2005. In 2006, he joined the Materials Science and Engineering Department of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute as a Full Professor. His research has resulted in more than 400 citable publications and over 5,000 citations and he has edited or co-edited 15 books and has 18 patents. He also serves as the Chief Technology Officer for Nano Solutions and is President of Omni-Metrics. |
