Bio
Professor Rack earned his bachelor’s degree Materials Science and Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 1993, and his Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from the University of Florida in 1997. In 1997, Professor Rack joined Advanced Vision Technologies Inc. (AVT) as a Senior Research Scientist where he led their research on luminescent and field emitter materials and contributed to process development of their vacuum microelecronic devices. In 1999, he joined the faculty in the Microelectronic Engineering Department at the Rochester Institute of Technology and in 2001 he joined the faculty in the Materials Science and Engineering Department at University of Tennessee. He research broadly studies emergent properties of nanoscale materials and devices which currently has three focus areas: 1) combinatorial thin film processing for rapid materials discovery, 2) complex oxide and 2D material nanoscale devices, 3) nanoscale focused electron, ion and photon beam induced processing.
Research Description
