------------------------------------------------------------------------ About the speaker Robert Hull Robert Hull received a Ph.D. in Materials Science from Oxford University in 1983. He then spent ten years at AT&T Laboratories in the Physics Research Division, and joined the faculty of the Materials Science and Engineering Department at the University of Virginia, where he is the Charles Henderson Professor of Engineering. His recent research focuses upon the development of new techniques for nanoscale assembly, fabrication and characterization using focused ion and electron beams, with particular emphasis on epitaxial semiconductor structures. He has published well over 200 journal and conference papers, edited several books and proceedings in the fields of semiconductor materials and devices, given over seventy keynote and invited talks at national and international conferences, and presented over one hundred additional seminars at universities and government and industrial laboratories. He is a member of multiple editorial and advisory boards, a Fellow of the American Physical Society, a Member of the European Academy of Sciences, and has served as the president of the Materials Research Society. Within the University of Virginia, he is Director of the National Science Foundation Center on “Nanoscopic Materials Design” and is Director of the University’s Institute for Nanoscale and Quantum Engineering, Science and Technology (NanoQuest). Recently he chaired a workshop and edited a report for the National Nanotechnology Initiative defining new directions in the field of Nanomaterials for the next decade and beyond.
