Personal Profile

Martin E. Kordesch obtained his B.A. in Physics from the University of Chicago (1978), and M.S.(1980) and Ph.D. (1984) degrees in Physics from Case Western Reserve University. His early work was on in situ Mossbauer and EXAFS measurements of corrosion systems and fuel cell catalysts. He was a Max Planck Fellow and then Staff Scientist at the Fritz Haber Institute in Berlin, Germany from 1984-1989, where he worked on the surface chemistry of cyanide compounds and hydrogen surface resonances using vibrational spectroscopy and synchrotron-based photoelectron spectroscopy.

He joined Ohio University in 1989, and worked on the in situ observation of CVD diamond growth with emission microscopes. His current research involves the growth and characterization of low work function surfaces, carbon nanosheets and nanotextured surfaces for field emission.
