Joseph J. Brown Joseph J. Brown is currently a postdoctoral research associate in Mechanical Engineering. His research interests center on precision assembly, mechanical characterization, applications of nanostructures and nanoscale systems, and the interface of materials technologies and MEMS design. He has published four refereed journal papers and two conference papers, and he is an inventor on three U.S. patents. He received an A.B. in Engineering Sciences from Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH, in 2000. He received the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Colorado at Boulder in 2008 and 2010, respectively. He was recipient of a 2007 NSF Graduate Research Fellowship. His Ph.D. thesis, finished in 2010 under the supervision of Prof. Bright, focused on nanomaterial tensile testing and the development of new interchangeable microsystems and microassemblies for micromechanical experiments. At Dartmouth, he wrote an undergraduate thesis on the self-assembly of ordered arrays of gold nanoparticles in Langmuir films, under the supervision of Dr. Ursula J. Gibson. Prior to enrolling in the University of Colorado graduate program, he worked in small business environments on a broad range of technical projects. From 2002 to 2004, he led project work related to particle fabrication at Synergy Innovations, Inc., a Lebanon, NH, based idea and startup incubator. Projects included a system for monodisperse metal powder production, and several electrohydrodynamic approaches to high-volume precision nanoparticle manufacture. In 2004, he helped found NanoComp Technologies, Inc., as a spin-out of Synergy Innovations, based on several co-inventions. The focus of NanoComp Technologies lies in the bulk fabrication of carbon nanotubes for structural, electrical, and thermal applications. Joe has additional interests in technology for energy production and efficiency of resource and energy use, and also in outdoor and creative activities.
