Eric Vogel

Eric M. Vogel is the Hightower Professor of Materials Science and Engineering in the Engineering faculty at the Georgia Institute of Technology, where he also holds a courtesy appointment as Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering. He serves as Executive Director of the Institute for Matter and Systems, previously known as the Institute for Materials, and was formerly Deputy Director of the Institute for Electronics and Nanotechnology. Vogel joined Georgia Tech in August 2011. Prior to this, he was Associate Professor of Materials Science and Engineering and Electrical Engineering at the University of Texas at Dallas from 2006 to 2011, serving as Associate Director of the Texas Analog Center of Excellence and leading UTD’s portion of the Southwest Academy for Nanoelectronics. Before UTD, he led the CMOS and Novel Devices Group at the National Institute of Standards and Technology and founded the Nanofab facility. His academic background includes a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from North Carolina State University in 1998, an M.S. in Electrical Engineering from the same institution in 1996, and a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from Pennsylvania State University in 1994.

Vogel’s research specializes in the synthesis, structure, properties, and applications of electronic and nanoscale materials and devices for future electronics, with a focus on functional electronic and optical materials. Key areas include 2D materials such as graphene, biosensors, atomic layer deposition, III-V semiconductor devices, and micro and nano device engineering. He instructs courses on electronic and optical materials, quantum mechanics for materials science, and electrical characterization. A Fellow of the IEEE and MRS, Vogel has authored over 240 journal publications and proceedings, six book chapters, and delivered over 100 invited talks and tutorials. Selected key publications are 'Large-area graphene single crystals grown by low-pressure chemical vapor deposition of methane on copper' (Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2011), 'Graphene films with large domain size by a two-step chemical vapor deposition process' (Nano Letters, 2010), 'The effect of chemical residues on the physical and electrical properties of chemical vapor deposited graphene transferred to SiO2' (Applied Physics Letters, 2011), 'Handbook of semiconductor manufacturing technology' (CRC Press, 2000), and 'GaAs interfacial self-cleaning by atomic layer deposition' (Applied Physics Letters, 2008). His contributions have advanced understanding and development in nanoelectronics and materials for devices.
