Biography

David C. Paine is a professor in the School of Engineering at Brown University, where he serves as the Director of the Molecular Nanoscale Innovation. His research is primarily focused on thin film characterization and processing, with a particular emphasis on interfaces and the stability of electronic thin film systems. His recent work explores the evolution of microstructure and function in materials synthesized using physical vapor deposition techniques. Paine's investigations include amorphous metal oxides for thin film transistors (TFTs), highlighting their superior performance compared to conventional amorphous Si-based devices. He is particularly interested in new optically transparent materials for applications in organic light emitting devices. Furthermore, he explores the potential of a-IZO materials for achieving high performance while addressing challenges related to carrier concentration in TFT applications. He has contributed significantly to the field through various scholarly articles and maintains active involvement in professional organizations such as the Materials Research Society and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).
