Jeffrey W. Baldwin

Jeffrey W. Baldwin received the B.S. degree in chemistry from Erskine College, Due West, SC, in 1996, and the Ph.D. degree in physical chemistry from the University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, in 2002. His doctoral research was in the field of nanoscience (molecular electronics) which included surface science (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning tunneling microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy) and nanofabrication techniques. Since 2003, he has been a Research Chemist at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), Washington, DC, in Code 7136, primarily studying silicon and diamond nanomechanical systems. His research interests include the design, fabrication, and characterization of novel nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) using graphene, diamond, and silicon films for chemical and biological agent sensing and RF signal processing. Dr. Baldwin was awarded an NRC postdoctoral fellowship to study carbon nanostructures at NRL in 2002.
