Since 1997, SEAC Young Investigator
Award winner Daniel Feldheim has been on the faculty at North Carolina
State University where his research has centered on solid state and molecular
devices and sensors, rational design of colloidal superstructures and analytical
chemistry in small volumes. Feldheim received his B.A. in Chemistry
in 1989 at San Jose State University. He did his Ph.D. research with
Prof. C. Michael Elliott at Colorado State University, where he worked
on both fullerene chemistry and the interactions of small molecules with
polymer-modified electrodes. His NSF Post-doctoral Fellowship was
with Prof. Thomas Mallouk at Pennsylvania State University, where he developed
layer-by-layer inorganic polyelectrolyte/Au colloid thin film assembly
and characterization techniques. He recently received a Research
Corporation research innovation award.
