Dr. Michael A. Carpenter
Associate Professor mcarpenter@uamail.albany.edu Received a B.S. degree in chemistry from Geneseo State University - SUNY in 1991. He then earned M.S. (1993) and Ph.D. (1996) degrees in physical chemistry under the tutelage of James M. Farrar at the University of Rochester while studying ion-molecule reaction dynamics using crossed beam experimental techniques. During a postdoctoral associate position (1996-1998) with Paul L. Houston at Cornell University he studied radical-molecule reaction dynamics. A second postdoctoral position at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory with James P. Cowin (1998-2000) expanded his research expertise to include the study of tropospheric aerosol chemistry. Dr. Carpenter came to Albany Nanotech in 2000 as a staff scientist and was appointed to Assistant Professor in the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering in 2002 and promoted to Associate Professor in 2009. |

Dr. Zhouying Zhao
Research Associate Zzhao@uamail.albany.edu Received a M.S. degree in Semiconductor Physics & Devices from Nanjing University in 1989 while studying the optical, optoelectronic and interfacial properties of hydrogenated amorphous silicon/silicon nitride multilayers for novel solar cell and optoelectronic applications. In July of 1989 she became a materials scientist at Nanjing Solid State Devices Institute in the Division of Semiconductor Materials Research & Development, focusing on research of a variety of II-VI and III-V semiconductor epitaxial heterojunction materials for the development of advanced microwave, microelectronic and optoelectronic devices & systems (1989-1997). She received a Ph.D. in Materials Science & Engineering from the Stevens Institute of Technology in 2001 while studying the reactive sputtering of highly insulating dielectrics thin films, high frequency plasma dynamics, and Langmuir probes. Dr. Zhao was a postdoctoral associate with Professor Michael Carpenter (2002-2005) at the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering working on nanocrystal based sensing materials development and applications for chemical gas sensors and was recently appointed to Research Associate in 2005. |
