Steven Sibener Carl William Eisendrath Professor in Chemistry Areas of Expertise:
Steve Koppes |
Background:
Steven Sibener, the Director of the University's James Franck Institute, specializes in chemical physics, materials research and nanoscience. With colleagues in the Consortium for Nanoscience Research, a joint effort between the University of Chicago and Argonne National Laboratory, Sibener is pursuing a new approach to the fabrication of structures at the nanometer scale. They are using a technique called self-assembly, in which atoms and molecules assemble themselves into structures of technological interest. Sibener is the former director of the University of Chicago's Materials Research Science and Engineering Center, and the founding director of the multi-university Center for Materials Chemistry in the Space Environment. His honors include the Marlow Medal of the Royal Society of Chemistry.
