Editor-in-Chief of Thin Solid Films; the D. B.
Willett Professor of Materials Science and Physics, University of
Illinois; Tage Erlander Professor of Physics, Linköping University;
University Chaired Professor of Materials Science, National Taiwan
Univ. Science and Technology; and Past Director of the Frederick
Seitz Materials Research Laboratory
The focus of his research has been the development of an
atomic-level understanding of adatom/surface interactions during
the dynamic process of vapor-phase crystal growth in order to
controllably manipulate nanochemistry, nanostructure, and, hence,
physical properties. His work has involved nanotechnology and film
growth by all forms of sputter deposition, solid and gas-source
MBE, UHV-CVD, MOCVD, and ALE. Joe has published more than 500
papers and review articles, 22 book chapters, and co-edited 4 books
in the general areas of crystal growth, thin-film physics, and
surface science. He is currently Editor-in-Chief of Thin Solid
Films and past Editor of CRC Critical Reviews in Solid State and
Materials Sciences. Joe is active in the AVS where he has served on
the Trustees, twice as a member of the Board of Directors, as
President of the society in 1989, and is currently Secretary.
Major awards include: the AVS John Thornton Award (1991), the Tage
