Dr. David N. McIlroy VP Research Dr. McIlroy is a full Professor of Department of Physics at the University of Idaho and also serves as the Director of the Biological Applications of Nanotechnology (BANTech) Initiative at the University of Idaho. Professor McIlroy obtained his PhD in Physics from the University of Rhode Island and spent three years as a postdoctoral at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln, before joining the University of Idaho faculty in 1996. He is author or co-author of over 70 papers in the archival literature and numerous book chapters. He is trained as a solid state physicist with expertise in the areas of surface science, nanowires, nanosprings and nanoparticles, and thin film deposition. Prior to entering academia, Prof. McIlroy worked as an engineer in semiconductor fabrication facilities. As a project engineer (mechanical engineering) he was tasked with designing large chemical vapor deposition belt furnaces for depositing TiO2 and SnO2 thin films for solar cell applications. In this capacity his R&D duties involved the development of new thin film deposition processes, again for solar applications. Prof. McIlroy has extensive experience in designing scientific apparatus, nanomaterials process development, as well as materials characterization, and nanodevice fabrication.
