Jeffrey Dyck
Professor
Background
Professor Dyck received his Ph.D. from Case Western Reserve University in 2000 where he studied the low pressure plasma synthesis and optical characterization of wide-band-gap III-nitride semiconductors. After his doctoral work, Dr. Dyck was a postdoctoral associate at the University of Michigan working in the field of electrical and thermal transport property measurements and thermoelectric and spintronic materials, and gaining teaching experience. In 2003, he joined the Physics Department (now Physics & Engineering) at JCU. Here he teaches a wide range of lecture and laboratory courses and his research program encompasses experimental studies of novel semiconductor materials for green energy applications. His research has been supported by the Research Corporation and the National Science Foundation.
