	Doug Lowndes, Group Leader and Corporate Fellow Recent research has focused on nanostructured materials, including growth mechanisms of vertically aligned carbon nanofibers and their applications for nanotechnology, and multifunctional transition metal oxide thin film heterostructures. Also serves as Scientific Director of ORNL’s new Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences.
	Hans Christen, Research Staff Member Works on the epitaxial growth of complex metal-oxides and the study of their properties, with emphasis on ferroelectric, magnetic, and superconducting films as well as superlattices, grown by pulsed laser deposition. He holds a Ph.D. in Physics from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, Switzerland.
	Dave Geohegan, Distinguished Research Staff Member Research is currently focused on carbon nanotube synthesis, purification, and processing into multifunctional composites and devices. Projects include single-walled carbon nanotube synthesis and functionalization for device applications, alignment of nanotubes in polymer fibers and films for enhanced or anisotropic electrical, thermal and mechanical properties, nanotube heat pipes and thermal conductivity measurements, and the development of strong, lightweight nanotube composites for aerospace applications.
	Alex Puretzky, Guest Scientists, University of Tennessee Research on the synthesis and characterization of nanostructured materials including carbon nanotubes and nanoparticles.
