Generate a tailored SOP for Dr. Bruce Hinds. Improve your application with a focused, well-structured draft.
Professor Bruce Hinds researches nanostructures, nanoscale fabrication, electronics fabrication, and molecular level novel technologies including nano-lithography. He received the NSF Early Career Award and the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers, as well as the Kavli Frontiers of Science Fellowship from the National Academy of Sciences. Professor Hinds has a formal research background in chemistry and electronic device processing. He completed his bachelor's studies in Chemistry at Harvey Mudd College in California (1991) and his Ph.D. work on MOCVD growth of high temperature superconductors at Northwestern University (1996). He conducted post-doctoral research at NC State Physics, studying the interface states of the Si/SiO2 system. In 2001, he joined the faculty of the University of Kentucky to initiate a research program for functional materials at the nanometer scale, focusing on creating nano-scale materials to mimic natural processes for applications in health care, energy storage/generation, and water purification. In July 2014, he moved to the University of Washington's Materials Science and Engineering department, where his research group has developed membranes based on carbon nanotubes, significantly improving the flow rates compared to conventional materials. Current projects include developing programmable transdermal delivery devices, biochemical separation systems, and biofuel processing flow battery membranes.
