CMBE Welcomes Dr. George Rossetti
The Department of Chemical, Materials & Biomolecular Engineering welcomes Dr. George A. Rossetti, Jr., who will join the department in August 2008 as an Associate Professor. Dr. Rossetti has worked as a Research Professor in the Institute of Materials Science at UConn since 2006. He previously was a Research Associate Professor at Rutgers University.
Dr. Rossetti's experience also spans more than a decade in industry, during which he served as Director of Functional Materials at Continuum Photonics Inc. in Billerica, MA and a Senior Research Engineer at Norton Company Central Research Laboratories, Saint-Gobain Corporation, Worcester, MA. He was also a Senior Research Scientist at the NASA Center for Advanced Microgravity Materials Processing at Northeastern University, Boston.
Dr. Rossetti earned his B.S. in chemical engineering and M.S. in materials engineering from Worcester Polytechnic Institute and his Ph.D. in solid state science from The Pennsylvania State University. He conducted post-doctoral work at the Princeton Materials Institute. His research interests focus on structure-processing-property relations in electroceramic materials and their applications in dielectric, electromechanical and energy conversion devices and systems.
