University of Vermont since 2001.\u00a0 His research interests are in the areas of thin film materials and the synthesis and processing of materials relevant to information technology and consumer electronics.\u00a0 He has published over 60 journal articles and has received funding from the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Department of Energy.\u00a0 He has taught courses in physics, nanoscience, and materials science.\u00a0 He currently serves as the program director for UVM&#8217;s Materials Science graduate program.<\/p>\n<p>The College of Arts and Sciences Full Professor
