David Joy received his D.Phil in Materials Science from Oxford University in 1969. After a period as a Royal Society Warren Research Fellow, in the Department of Metallurgy at Oxford, he joined AT&T Bell Laboratories in Murray Hill, NJ in 1974 as a Member of Technical Staff. In 1987 he took up a joint appointment as a Distinguished Professor at The University of Tennessee, Knoxville and as a Distinguished Scientist at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. His research interest include all aspects of scanning electron microscopy, electron and ion interactions with solids, Monte Carlo modeling, metrology and especially the problem of size measurements and calibration at the nano-scale, and electron and ion beam lithography. He is a Past President of both the Microscopy Society of America, and the Microbeam Analysis Society, and a Fellow of The Royal Microscopical Society.
Zachary Levine received a Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Pennsylvania in 1983. He worked at the AT&T Engineering Research Center, Cornell University, and The Ohio State University before coming to NIST in 1994 where he works as a Physicist. His research on quantum mechanical calculations of optical properties of crystals led to the identification of intrinsic birefringence in calcium fluoride for 157nm lithography which played a significant role in the industry decision to adopt other technologies. He helped to open the fields of both x-ray and electron tomography of electronic circuit interconnects. He was elected to be a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 2001 in recognition of the x-ray portion of this work.
Martino Poggio received his A.B. in physics from Harvard University in 2000 and his Ph.D. from the University of California, Santa Barbara in 2005. In graduate school he worked for Prof. David Awschalom on ultrafast optics and semiconductor spintronics. After receiving his doctorate, he started work as a post-doctoral fellow at the Center for Probing the Nanoscale, a joint center between Stanford University and IBM Corporation funded by the National Science Foundation. In this capacity he has worked in Dr. Dan Rugar's lab at the IBM Almaden Research Center in San Jose, CA on high sensitivity nuclear magnetic resonance force microscopy. Dr. Poggio is a member of the American Physical Society.
Professor Rodney Ruoff joined UT Austin in the Fall of 2007 as a Cockrell Family Regents Chair. Previously he served for 5 years as Director of the Biologically Inspired Materials Institute at Northwestern University. He has been a Visiting Chair Professor at Sung Kyun Kwan U. in South Korea. He received his B.S. in Chemistry from the U. of Texas (Austin) and Ph.D. from the UI-Urbana. He was a Fulbright Fellow at the Max Planck Institute- Goettingen, Germany. From 1989-1990, he was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the IBM T. J. Watson Research Center in NY. Prior to joining NU in 2000, he was a Staff Scientist at the Molecular Physics Lab. of SRI International and Assoc. Prof. of Physics at Washington U. His research activities include global environment & energy; synthesis & physical/chemical properties of nanostructures & composites; nanorobotics, NEMS, & tools for biomedical research. He played a central role in the development of the Fullerenes Division of the Electrochemical Society. He has developed new instruments that have led to important studies of nanostructure mechanics. Prof. Ruoff has published 160 refereed journal articles in the fields of chemistry, physics, mechanics, & materials science.
Phillip E. Russell is Distinguished Professor of Physics and Science Education at Appalachian State University, and Research Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at NC State University. He received his PhD in Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Florida in 1982. From 1980-82 he served as Staff Scientist and Group Manager for Materials Analysis, Photovoltaic Devices and Measurements Branch, Solar Energy Research Institute (now National Renewable Energy Laboratory). From 1982-85 he served as Manager, New Products Department, Systems Group and Semiconductor Applications Laboratory, Electron Optics Division JEOL, USA. He joined the faculty of Materials Science and Engineering at NC State University in 1985, where he was the founding director of the Analytical Instrumentation Facility. In 2007 he moved to his current position at Appalachian State where he has established electron and ion microscopy and nanofabrication labs, courses and research programs.
Alan Street is a Senior Staff Engineer/Manager of Failure Analysis at Qualcomm CDMA Technologies in San Diego, California. He is responsible for analytical instrumentation in QCT's failure analysis laboratory, focused ion beam services and competitive analysis. He is a past General Chair and member of the Board of Directors of the International Reliability Physics Symposium (IRPS), and the Vice President of Publications for the IEEE Reliability Society.
