Dr. Joan Redwing

Biography

Joan M. Redwing received her B.S. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Pittsburgh and her Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Following her Ph.D., she worked as a research engineer at Advanced Technology Materials, Inc., focusing on the development of III-nitride materials and devices. Redwing joined the faculty of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Penn State University in 2000 and holds an adjunct appointment in the Department of Electrical Engineering. She is a member of the Materials Research Institute and currently serves as the Director of the 2D Crystal Consortium (2DCC), a NSF-funded national user facility for Materials Innovation. Her research interests lie within electronic materials synthesis and characterization, with a particular emphasis on semiconductor thin films, nanowires, and 2D materials synthesized via metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). Redwing is a fellow of the American Physical Society, the Materials Research Society, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science and was a Fulbright Scholar in Sweden in 2016. She has co-authored over 300 publications in refereed journals and holds 8 U.S. patents. Her work often involves cross-disciplinary collaboration and nurturing graduate students from the Integrated Graduate Education Program in Materials Science and Engineering.
