J. Alexander Liddle

J. Alexander Liddle received the B.A. and D. Phil. degrees in materials science from the University of Oxford, Oxford, U.K., in 1986 and 1989, respectively. He spent the next 11 years with Bell Laboratories, where his primary efforts were directed toward the research, development, and eventual commercialization of a novel electron-beam lithography technology. He spent the next three years as the Head of the LBNL Nanofabrication Group, Center for X-Ray Optics, prior to becoming Lead Scientist of the Molecular Foundry Nanofabrication User Facility, where he was involved in research ranging from quantum computation to guided self-assembly. In 2006, he joined the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Gaithersburg, MD, USA, where he is the Leader of the Nanofabrication Research Group, Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology. He has authored or coauthored over 200 papers. His current research focus is on nanofabrication and self-assembly for nanomanufacturing. Dr. Liddle is a Fellow of the APS.
