Michael C. McAlpine
Assistant Professor
Ph.D. Harvard University (2006)
Profile
The focus of Professor McAlpine's research is in exploring nanotechnology-enabled approaches to addressing fundamental problems in medicine, energy, and flexible electronics.
Professor McAlpine began his appointment as Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Princeton in 2008, and is an associated faculty member with the Princeton Department of Chemistry and the Princeton Institute for the Science and Technology of Materials (PRISM).
He received a B.S. with honors in Chemistry from Brown University in 2000, an M.A. in Chemistry from Harvard University in 2002, and a Ph.D. in Chemistry from Harvard University in 2006.
His dissertation work at Harvard under Professor Charles M. Lieber involved the development of integrated, high performance nanoelectronic systems on flexible plastic substrates.
His post-doctoral work at Caltech under Professor James R. Heath focused on nanotechnology-enabled hybrid sensors for medical applications.
His research has been published in peer-reviewed journals such as Nature, Nature Materials, Journal of the American Chemical Society, Nano Letters, and Proceedings of the IEEE.
He has given talks at several universities and conferences, most notably an invitation to speak to the prestigious JASONs Defense Advisory Group.
He has received a number of awards, most prominently an Air Force Young Investigator Award, an Intelligence Community Young Investigator Award, and an American Asthma Foundation Early Excellence Award.
