[Jan-2012]: I am now officially a Professional Engineer (PE)! I took the PE exam in October in Brooklyn, NY and was granted the PE license in January, 2012 in New York State. I am planning to be in charge of the National Society of Professional Engineers chapter at Stony Brook in the fall when I return from my sabbatical.

[Dec-2011]: I am finishing my role as the Undergraduate Program Director starting Jan 2012, after having held this position for 5 1/2 years. I will be on Sabbatical leave during the spring 2012 semester, but I will be available by email. Note also phone and room changes above, as I am back in my regular office now.

[Nov-2011]: We just learned that we received a NYSERDA grant entitled based on improving the manufacturing efficiency of thermoelectric devices. This grant complements our NSF grant below and allows us to further develop our thermal-spray-based thermoelectric activities. Co-PIs are Profs. Lei Zuo and David Hwang, who joined us from Prof. Grigoropoulos's group in January, 2012 as an Assistant Professor.

[Oct-2011]: I will be finishing up five and a half years as the Undergraduate Program Director in December, and will be taking my first sabbatical in spring, 2012. I plan to do some traveling around the U.S. as well as to Japan, and ramp up my research activities.

[Oct-2010]: We recently won an NSF grant to develop thermoelectric devices for automotive exhaust systems. The PI is Prof. Lei Zuo from Mechanical Engineering, with co-PIs myself, Prof. Sanjay Sampath from Materials Science, Prof. Baosheng Li from the Mineral Physics Institute and Dr. Qiang Li from Brookhaven National Laboratories. The three-year program aims to develop thermoelectric materials using thermal spray and laser processing technologies that can be fabricated directly onto exhaust system components for improved vehicle fuel efficiency. Details can be found here.

[Apr-2010]: A nasty server crash coupled with my lack of experience with Web design resulted in the site being only minimally useful for the past few months. I've rebuilt the server and am re-working the web site. Thanks for your patience. As always, comments are welcome.
