Joseph J. Brown Joseph J. Brown is currently pursuing a doctoral degree in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Colorado, Boulder. His research interests center on precision assembly of functional nanostructures and nanoscale systems. Currently, he is participating in the development of a MEMS platform for the multi-parameter testing of nanostructures such as nanowires and carbon nanotubes. Mr. Brown received an A.B. in Engineering Sciences from Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH, in 2000. At Dartmouth, he wrote a thesis on the self-assembly of ordered arrays of gold nanoparticles in Langmuir films, under the supervision of Dr. Ursula J. Gibson. His most significant work has been in small business environments where he developed numerous ideas that have been incorporated in several full patent filings. From 2002 to 2004, he led project work related to particle fabrication at Synergy Innovations, Inc., a Lebanon, NH, based idea and startup incubator. Projects included a system for monodisperse metal powder production, and several electrohydrodynamic approaches to high-volume precision nanoparticle manufacture. In 2004, he co-founded NanoComp Technologies, Inc., as a spin-out of Synergy Innovations, based on several co-inventions. The focus of NanoComp Technologies lies in the fabrication of carbon nanotubes for applications such as structural composites. Joe has additional interests in technology for energy production and efficiency of resource and energy use, and also in outdoor and creative activities. Research Project: |
