BIOGRAPHY
Wolfgang Windl is an Associate Professor in the Department
of Materials Science and Engineering at The Ohio State University since October
2001 and works in the area of Nanoscale Computational Materials Science. His field of expertise is in the area of
atomistic simulations, especially within density-functional theory. Currently,
he mostly works on nanostructured interfaces and molecule-surface interactions
of semiconductor device systems. Previously, he spent four years with Motorola,
first as Senior Staff Scientist in Motorola’s Computational Materials
Group at Los Alamos National Laboratory, and later as a Principal Staff
Scientist in the Digital DNA Laboratories in Austin, TX,
where he was working in the area of multiscale
modeling of semiconductor processing. Before that, he held postdoctoral positions
at Los Alamos National Laboratory and Arizona State University.
He received his diploma and doctoral degree in Physics from the University of Regensburg, Germany. Wolfgang Windl is on the editorial
board of the Journal of Computational Electronics and the Journal of
Theoretical and Computational Nanoscience. Among
others, he has been Chairman of the International Conference on Computational Nanoscience (www.nsti.org) and is recipient of 1998 and 1999
Patent and Licensing Awards from Los Alamos National Laboratory for his
contributions to the molecular modeling code CLSMAN. He has authored more than
60 scientific publications and has given more than 30 invited talks at
international conferences and research institutions. He has been awarded twice
the “Best Teacher” recognition of the Department of Materials
Science and Engineering at The Ohio State University.
