Professor Bruce Hinds researches nanostructures, nanoscale fabrication, electronics fabrication, and molecular level novel technologies, including nano-lithography. He has received the National Science Foundation Early Career Award, the Presidential Early Career Award, and has been recognized as a Kavli Frontiers of Science Fellow by the National Academy of Sciences. His research-based background is in chemistry and electronic device processing. Hinds completed his Bachelor studies in Chemistry at Harvey Mudd College, California, in 1991, and earned his Ph.D. in 1996 at Northwestern University, focusing on Metal-Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) growth of high-temperature superconductors. He undertook post-doctoral research at NC State Physics to study the interface states of the Si/SiO2 system. In 2001, he joined the faculty at the University of Kentucky to establish a research program for functional materials at the nanometer scale, particularly focusing on creating nano-scale materials to mimic natural processes for applications in healthcare, energy storage, and water purification. In July 2014, Hinds moved to the University of Washington's Materials Science and Engineering Department, where his current projects include developing programmable transdermal delivery devices and innovative membrane systems for biochemical separation, biofuel processing, and electrochemical water remediation.
