Major Administrative Appointments:

1997-present - Director of the Nanofabrication Laboratory at UCSB.

The Nanofabrication Laboratory is a central facility in the UCSB College of Engineering. It is presently a ~1,000-m2  facility, operated by a staff of 10, with ~$10 million in capital equipment, with an operating budget of c.a $5 Million per annum, of which ~$4 million is obtained from user recharges. The facility annually serves 275 UCSB Ph.D. students and 40 outside industrial users, and supports the research of 42 Professors in Engineering, Physics, Chemistry, and Materials.

2001- Present- Director of the Santa Barbara Node of the NSF National Nanofabrication Infrastructure Network (NNIN).

This was previously the National Nanofabrication users Network (NNUN).  Through NNIN, the NSF provides $0.6 Million per annum to the Nanofabrication Laboratory to finance the facilities' support of outside academic and industrial users, and to support educational outreach programs both to university undergraduates and to children in school.
