Education and early academic work Edit
Education Edit
Mark Hersam attended Downers Grove South High School in Downers Grove, IL where he was Valedictorian[4] and an Eagle Scout. He then went on to receive his B.S. in Electrical Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1996. Upon winning the Marshall Scholarship,[5] Hersam received a M.Phil. in Microelectronic Engineering and Semiconductor Physics from the University of Cambridge in 1997. His Ph.D was granted from the Electrical Engineering Department at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2000.
Early work Edit
While at UIUC, Hersam did research[6] under Professor David Ruzic[7] in the Nuclear Engineering Department and Professor Joseph Lyding[8] in the Electrical Engineering Department.
After graduating from UIUC, Hersam was an intern at the Argonne National Laboratory where he did research in the Energy Technology Division studying the energy-related applications of surface acoustic-wave-based sensing.
While at Cambridge University, Hersam was advised by Mark Welland and the two co-authored the paper "Potentiometry and repair of electrically stressed nanowires using atomic force microscopy"[9] in the journal of Applied Physics Letters.
As a doctoral candidate, Hersam again worked with Professor Joseph Lyding at the Beckman Institute where they studied "atomic level manipulation and silicon-based molecular nanotechnology."[10]
Research Edit
As head of the Hersam Group at Northwestern University,[11] Hersam has authored more than 137 peer-reviewed publications[12] studying hybrid hard and soft nanoscale materials[13] for applications in information technology, biotechnology, nanotechnology, and alternative energy.
