| Ray Baughman received a B.S. in Physics from Carnegie Mellon University and a Ph.D. in the Materials Science area from Harvard University. Upon graduation he went to Allied Chemical, which later became AlliedSignal and Honeywell. Until August 2001, he was a Corporate Fellow of Honeywell/AlliedSignal, were he received Technical Achievement Awards for developing new products in the areas of: (a) Time-Temperature Indicators, (b) Polyaniline Compositions and Applications, and (c) Sonar Hydrophones. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and the American Institute of Chemists, an Academician of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences, an Honorary Professor at Jilin University (China), and on the advisory boards of various university institutes here and abroad. Ray received the Chemical Pioneer Award by the American Institute of Chemists (1995) and the Cooperative Research Award in Polymer Science and Engineering (American Chemical Society, 1996). He is on the editorial boards of Synthetic Metals and Nanoscience, the Board of Reviewing Editors of Science, and has 51 US patents and 173 publications (with over 6300 citations). In August 2001, Ray became the Robert A. Welch Professor of Chemistry and Director of the NanoTech Institute of the University of Texas at Dallas. His R&D activities are on nanotechnology; photonic crystals; sensors and actuators; ferroelectrics; novel forms of carbon (especially carbon nanotubes); conducting polymers; solid-state reactions; electrochemical processes and devices; materials with unusual mechanical properties; and the design, synthesis, and application of materials with novel electrical, optical, or magnetic properties. |
