Dr. Mark Losego

Biography

Professor Mark D. Losego is a faculty member at the School of Materials Science and Engineering at Georgia Tech. His research focuses on materials processing and the development of novel organic-inorganic hybrid materials for applications in microelectronics, sustainable energy devices, national security technologies, and advanced textiles. The Losego Lab employs unique vapor phase processing methods to convert organic polymers into hybrid materials and aims to establish scalable manufacturing processes. His work is primarily experimental, offering lab researchers expertise in material processing techniques such as atomic layer deposition and physical vapor deposition. Losego received his B.S. degree in materials science engineering from Penn State University in 2003, followed by an M.S. and Ph.D. from North Carolina State University, with studies centered on vapor phase deposition of functional oxide thin films. He completed postdoctoral studies at the University of Illinois, focusing on chemical surface modifications and hybrid interfaces. Before joining Georgia Tech, he served as a research assistant professor in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at North Carolina State University, where he advanced the use of atomic layer deposition in stabilizing molecular catalysts for photoelectrochemical systems. He is also the faculty founder of the Materials Innovation Learning Laboratory (The MILL), an open-access facility promoting experiential education.
