Robert Hull
Professor, Materials Science and Engineering
Charles Henderson Professor of Engineering
Ph.D., University of Oxford
 
Dr. Hull has served on the faculty since 1994, coming to the University from the physics research division of AT&T Bell Laboratories. He has published over 200 papers, review articles and book chapters in the fields of electronic materials, nanofabrication, electron and ion microscopy, semiconductor epitaxy, and defects in crystals. He has given about 150 invited and keynote conference presentations and seminars internationally. He is a member of the Materials Research Society, the American Physical Society, and the Microscopy Society of America. He was elected president of the Materials Research Society in 1997. He is Director of the "Center for Nanoscopic Materials Design" at U.Va, funded by the National Science Foundation under the Materials Research Science and Engineering Center program.
 
Research Interests
Dr. Hull's research focuses on electronic materials, nanostructural fabrication and characterization, microstructural properties, thin film growth and processing, structure and properties of interfaces, defects in crystalline materials, electron and ion beams, real-time observation of dynamic processes, and structural/(opto)electronic correlations.
