Princeton Materials Institute

Pr Ilian Aksay thus presented the Princeton materials Institute Princeton does not have a materials-science department and in some sense it can be said not to have any materials scientists, either. At least, not in the conventional sense of scientists who have earned degrees in materials science. Princeton never seriously considered starting a department of materials science, preferring instead to promote interaction of scientists in existing departments. PMI is a hybrid between a department and a center (Princeton, Alumni Weekly, January 28, 1998, 13). 

G. Charles Dismukes is professor of chemistry at Princeton University and an affiliated member of the Princeton Environmental Institute and the Princeton Materials Institute. His research interests focus on biological and chemical methods for solar-based fuel production, photosynthesis, metals in biological systems, and tools for investigating these systems. His published works describe the biology and chemistry of oxygen production in natural photosynthetic systems, the synthesis and characterization of bioinspired catalysts for renewable energy production, the use of microorganisms...

Charles E. Kolb, Chair, graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with a B.S. in chemical physics and from Princeton University with an M. A. and a Ph.D. in physical chemistry. Dr. Kolb is president and chief executive officer of Aerodyne Research, Inc., in Billerica, Massachusetts. His principal research interests include atmospheric and environmental chemistry, combustion chemistry, materials chemistry, and the chemical physics of rocket and aircraft exhaust plumes. He has served on several National Aeronautics and Space Administration panels dealing with environmental issues as well as on six previous National Research Council (NRC) committees and boards dealing with atmospheric and environmental chemistry. Dr. Kolb also served on the NRC s Committee on the Review and Evaluation of the Army Chemical Stockpile Disposal Program (member, 1993-1998 vice chair, 1998-2000). He is a fellow of the American Physical Society, the American Geophysical Union, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the Optical Society of America.

Bernard Milter has been Associate Director of Research at Textile Research Institute, Princeton, NJ, since 1970. He received his Ph.D. degree in Chemistry from McGill University followed by a number of industrial and academic appointments. He was a Fiber Society National Lecturer, 1973-1974 and has served on the Executive Committees of the Information Council on Fabric Flammability and the North American Thermal Analysis Society. In 1977, he received the Harold DeWltt Smith Medal of the American Society for Testing and Materials for his work in fiber and textile measurements. His major fields of interest are the thermal and combustion behavior of polymers, fabric flammability and the surface properties of fibrous materials.
