Faculty SpotlightDr. Baratunde Cola joined Georgia Tech’s

George W. Woodru School o MechanicalEngineering in April o 2009. He received his

B.E (2002) and M.S. (2004) rom Vanderbilt

University and his Ph.D. (2008) rom Purdue

University, all in mechanical engineering.

At Purdue, he was honored with an Intel

Foundation Fellowship, a Purdue Doctoral

Fellowship, and a NASA Institute o 

Nanoelectronics and Computing Fellowship.

He was also the recipient o Purdue’s

College o Engineering “Top Dissertation

Award” or his research on photoacoustic

characterization o carbon nanotube (CNT)

array thermal interaces. Dr. Cola worked as

a test and development research engineer

at Intel during the summer o 2007, and he

was a visiting scholar at UT Dallas NanoTech

Institute rom January 2009 until the start o 

his appointment at Tech.

His current research is ocused on abricating

and exploring the properties o nanostructured

suraces and interaces to enhance energy

transport and conversion, improve heat

transer characteristics, and enable MEMS and

nanotechnology devices. He is particularly

interested in investigating energy transport

through interaces and nanosized contacts.

His principal tools or investigating nanoscale

thermal transport are custom photoacoustic

and emtosecond thermoreectance

techniques. Such non-contact, laser-based

techniques oer the increased delity and

spatial and temporal resolution necessary to

observe thermal events at the nanoscale. Dr.

Cola directs the Nanoengineered Systems and

 Transport (NEST) Research Group at Georgia

 Tech.

  The NEST Group continues Dr. Cola’s

research on CNT thermal interace

materials. Their work in this area has led

to the development o materials with

increased conductance and compliance

that have been demonstrated to transer

heat rom an electronic device to a heat

sink more efciently than the best available

materials. Dr. Cola has established patents

or thermal interace materials based on

CNT array structures that are currently

being developed or commercial use.

  The NEST Group is also investigating the

use o CNT array electrodes or efcient and

cost-eective electrochemical harvesting

o thermal energy. The CNT electrodes are

combined with various organic electrolyte

and doped polymer structures to produce

Marcus Nanotechnology Building Opens

 The Marcus Nanotechnology Building is a new addition locate

next to the Molecular Sciences Quad at the intersection

Ferst Dr and State St. Georgia Tech broke ground on the ne

Marcus Nanotechnology Building, one o the most expensiv

buildings on campus, in August 2006. The $90 million acili

was made possible in part by a grant rom Mr. Bernie Marcu

ounder and chairman o the Marcus Foundation, who made

$15 million commitment to the project. “There isn’t anything th

nanotechnology will not touch or inuence in the uture,” Marc

said. “It will enhance medicine, high-technology and consum

products. I hope that nanotechnology will do or Georgia TecAtlanta, and the region what the ‘chip’ did or Silicon Valley.”

 The “N” building is 190,000-square-oot building and one o

main scientic appeals is the addition o the 30,000 square eet

clean-room space. It is an important new resource or our Cent

since it will add new acilities used or material characterizatio

but also device abrication and testing or a variety o application

on which COPE members are working.

 The dedication ceremony took place on April 24th, and include

speeches rom Mr. Marcus, Dr. Peterson, Dr. Meindl and Erroll

Davis, Jr., chancellor o the University System o Georgia.

GT MRSEC AwardedNSF has awarded unding to Georgia Tech to establish the GT

Materials Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC). GT will

receive $8.1 M over six years or research, education and outreach

activities. The MRSEC oce suite (under construction) will be

located in the Marcus Nanotechnology Building. The initial ocus

o the Center is research and development on epitaxial graphene

(EG), a material with extraordinary electronic properties that

oers the possibility o greatly enhanced speed and perormancerelative to silicon; this material may serve as the successor to silicon

in integrated circuits and microelectronic devices. In this context,

the research will include the development o new transparent

electrodes or organic electronics based upon graphene as well

as nano-patterning o graphene or electronic applications which

is applicable to the research done by COPE aculty members.

GT Physics Proessors Walt de Heer, Ed Conrad and Phil First are

world-wide leaders in the growth and characterization o EG.

Silicon has been the material o choice or electronic devices

since the 1960s. However, within the next 10 years, undamental

property limitations o silicon will inhibit the ability to abricate

operational devices and circuits due to continuing device size

reduction. The ability to reduce device size and thus pack more

and more devices on a chip has allowed adherence to Moore’s

Law and thereore has acilitated the phenomenal progression o 

the silicon-based semiconductor industry.

Graphene, a two-dimensional honeycomb arrangement o carbon

(sp2) atoms analogous to the layered structure o graphite, can

be generated in several ways. The GT MRSEC ocuses on the

growth o EG (single and multiple layers) on single crystal silicon

carbide substrates. This approach oers the advantage that high

quality layers can be grown on large area substrates. In addition,

processes similar to those employed or silicon-based device

manuacture can be used or the abrication o graphene devices

and circuits. In contrast, much o the world-wide eort hasconcentrated on exoliated graphene, where graphene akes are

obtained by peeling layers rom graphite. Although devices can

be constructed on such sheets, the ability to abricate large area

arrays o high quality devices and hence establish consistency

with the well-established silicon-based technology is severely

restricted.

  The GT MRSEC will develop the undamental science andtechnology to maximize graphene’s potential or utureelectronics technology, will establish core curricula in EG, andwill educate and train a diverse workorce or uture academic and

industrial leadership in microelectronics. The MRSEC EG eort is

cross-disciplinary within GT and within our other U.S. universitie

University o Caliornia Berkeley, University o Caliornia Riversid

Alabama A&M, and University o Michigan. Proessor Dennis He

(ChBE) serves as the GT MRSEC Director, and Proessor Walt d

Heer (Physics) heads the EG Interdisciplinary Research Group.

Tell us more about your research and recent publications. 

My work deals primarily with characterization and implementation o materials

with large, ultraast nonlinearities or photonic applications (Hales, J. M., Perry, J.

W., Introduction to Organic Electronic and Optoelectronic Materials and Devices,

CRC, Orlando, 2008 , pp. 521 – 579). These materials are typically organic in nature

and have the potential to be used or all-optical switching (Hales, J. M. et al, J. Am.

Chem. Soc. 128, 11362, 2006), optical phase conjugation (Chi, S. et al, Adv. Mater.

20, 3199, 2008), and optical power limiting (Hales, J. M. et al, submitted, 2009).

What are your uture career plans? I’ve really enjoyed my research work so ar during my career and I look orward to

teaching at some point, so a career in academia seems likely right now.

When you are not in the lab, what are some o your interests?

I met my wie Katherine while we were in graduate school and she would probably

readily admit that I have an unhealthy obsession with sports. I enjoy playing

tennis, although I’d be happier i my skill level matched my passion. Katherine

and I try to travel whenever we can and have been snow skiing, white water

kayaking, snorkeling, and hiking. I’ve tried to sky dive three times and twice the

weather has stopped me and once the plane was condemned right beore I got

on it - so it may be time to give up on that dream.

Proessor Joe Perry’s group

Tell us about your academic career and how you worked your way

to Senior Research Scientist.

For my undergraduate career I was actually here at Georgia Tech but over in

the physics department. I began doing research in the eld o optics during

an undergraduate research ellowship with work in nonlinear dynamics in

semiconductor lasers. I really enjoyed my time there and the research helped me

decide on going to CREOL, now the School o Optics, at the University o Central

Florida in Orlando, Florida to get my PhD in optical sciences and engineering.

I took a postdoctoral ellowship in Dr. Joseph Perry's lab a ew years ago and

became actively involved in a number o dierent programs, such as COPE,

that all involved using organics or all-optical photonic applications. The work 

has been exciting, productive and rewarding and so I’ve stayed on as a senior

research scientist.

COPE osters increase in STEM Diversity through Broader Participation InitiativesCOPE was a key partner in two important initiatives that are expected to ultimately translate into enhanced diversity

within the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) workorce.

FOCUS on Faculty Program

For the ourth consecutive year, COPE provided resources an

leveraged unding to aid in the recruitment o undergraduaunderrepresented STEM students or the 4th Annual FOCU

on Faculty Program held at Georgia Tech January 15 -18, 200COPE aculty members Jean-Luc Brédas, Samuel Graham

Bernard Kippelen, Seth Marder, and Joseph Perry participatein the three day diversity recruitment program. They providecareer presentations and hosted lab tours or 30 high-achievin

STEM students. In addition, they met with visiting aculty roMinority Serving Institutions (MSIs) that accompanied the

students. The goal o the FOCUS program is to encouragstudents to continue on to pursue their graduate degree. The

attend workshops on applying to graduate school, securinunding, and the benets o a graduate STEM degree.

4th ANNUAL HANDS-ON FUTURE TECH (HOFT)

CONFERENCE

COPE was a key stakeholder in providing unding,coordinating program logistics and securing outside unding

or the Southwest Hands-On Future Tech (HOFT) conerenceheld November 8-9, 2008 in Albuquerque, NM. Over 75ethnically diverse STEM undergraduate students rom around

the country attended the event. Partnering organizationsincluded the GEM Fellowship Program, our NSF STCs (CMDITR,

WaterCAMPWS, CMMAP, SAHRA), an NSF ERC (CIAN), twoDOE national laboratories and corporate sponsors. The GEMprogram also presented workshops to motivate and inorm

students o the benets o a graduate degree. The main goalo HOFT is to present hands-on activities highlighting the

research perormed at COPE, the NSF centers and the otherpartnering sponsors. In addition, sponsoring organizations

share inormation, insight and excitement about leading-

edge science and technology with underrepresentedundergraduates in STEM disciplines. There were a total o 8

hands-on “un” science and engineering demonstration roomsthat students visited during the conerence. The conerence

also provided a mechanism to improve recruitment o underrepresented students into COPE, STCs, governmental

and industrial laboratories. Strategic discussions among COPEand other partnering organizations took place regardingdeveloping partnership initiatives to increase minority student

participation. Student ollow-up is planned to chart students’career progress.

As a result o COPE’s participation in the FOCUS on Facul

program, we have been able to successully recruunderrepresented students and aculty into our partnerin

summer research programs and aculty research teams. good example o the benets o this initiative is COPE Direct

Seth Marder. Two MSI aculty, Dr. Konstantinos Kavallierato(Associate Proessor at Florida International University) an

Dr. Brian Lawrence (Assistant Proessor at Morehouse Collegeare engaged in COPE-related research working in Dr. Mardelab this summer. In addition, Marder and Lawrence will have

Morehouse College student, Akil Foluke, working with them

 The FOCUS on Faculty program continues to be an excellevehicle to strengthen COPE’s relationship with MSI acul

and students. In addition, it is anticipated that through thdevelopment o these relationships, research collaborationwill be strengthened.

Nine COPE aculty rom ve Schools rom Georgia Tech are

members o the NSF Science and Technology Center or Materialsand Device or Inormation Technology Research (CMDITR).

CMDITR is headquartered at the University o Washington(Proessor Philip Reid, Director) with participation rom Georgia

 Tech, University o Arizona, Norolk State University, University o Central Florida, Norolk State University, University o Maryland,Cornell University, and the Caliornia Institute o Technology.

CMDITR was conceived to meet the growing need or inormationtechnology materials and devices that would provide greater

bandwidth, lower power consumption, chipscale integration o electronics and photonics, manuacturing exibility, and reduced

cost. The decision to ocus on organic and hybrid materialswas predicated on the conviction that CMDITR could produce

undamentally new materials to outperorm those currentlyavailable. The ounding PIs oresaw that improved educationaltools and recruitment strategies were needed to prepare a

workorce to develop, use, and advance this new technology.

CMDITR is well-aligned to play an important role in Americancompetitiveness and national security. It is now approaching theend o year seven o a ten-year program.

CMDITR’s mission is to create and use molecular building

blocks in the rational design o new devices and subsystemsor a broad spectrum o photonic and electronic applications,

specically in the areas o telecommunications, computing,lighting, renewable energy, transportation, and deense. TheCenter’s work advances the understanding o the electrical and

optical properties o novel organic and organic-inorganic hybridmaterials, and o the dependence o these properties on the

organizational structure o materials. The result o these eorts is

technical parts o their careers, but also the aspeco their careers that relate to ethics, diversity, an
