Green is the Director of the Center for Negative Carbon Emissions. His research focuses on polymers for use in applications such as water purification, carbon dioxide capture, and nanocomposites.

Menéndez leads a research program on the physics of semiconductor materials.

McCartney's research interests include nanoscience and material physics.

Culbertson's interests include Physics and Society.

Rez's background is in the theory of electron scattering as applied to electron microscopy and analysis. His studies include the development of electron energy loss spectroscopy and the microstructure of kidney stones.

Chamberlin is interested in the thermal and dynamic response inside condensed matter. For example, we want to understand how the magnetization of a material relaxes as a function of time after removing an applied field.

Drucker is a professor with interests in nanoscience and materials physics. His research group performs experimental and theoretical research to better understand the atomistic mechanisms of crystal growth on surfaces.

Nemanich's research group has applied advanced microscopy and spectroscopy techniques to characterize the growth and properties of thin film interfaces and nanostructures.
