Bio
Christopher Muratore, Ph.D. is the Ohio Research Scholars Endowed Chair Professor in Chemical and Materials Engineering at the University of Dayton. He came to UD in 2012 from the Air Force Research Laboratory, and still works closely with AFRL in areas of human performance, materials and manufacturing and sensors. He has been working with technology and applications based on ultra-thin layered atomic materials for over 20-years, with the last 7 years focused on scaled 2D materials synthesis with applications in chemical and biological sensing. Muratore has published over 100 peer-reviewed papers, 11 patents and is a Fellow of the American Vacuum Society. He is on the Executive Committees of The Society of Vacuum Coaters, The American Vacuum Society and Chair of the Surface Engineering Division of the International Union of Vacuum Science and Technology (IUVSTA). He also serves on the School of Engineering Dean’s Cabinet.
