简介: |
Dr. M. Grant Norton is Professor in the School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering at Washington State University and Associate Dean of Research and Graduate Programs in the College of Engineering and Architecture. Professor Norton obtained his PhD in Materials from Imperial College, London and spent a two-year postdoctoral at Cornell University before joining the Washington State University faculty in 1991. In 2003 and 2004 he was an AFOSR Faculty Research Associate at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and spent the 1999/2000 academic year as a Visiting Professor at Oxford University. From 2000 to 2005 Professor Norton was Chair of Materials Science at Washington State University. He is author or co-author of about 180 papers in the archival literature, several book chapters, and two textbooks, one on X-ray diffraction and most recently Ceramic Materials: Science and Engineering, published by Springer. Professor Norton serves as Deputy Editor-in-Chief of Journal of Materials Science, is on the International Editorial Board Journal of Materials Education, and is on the Editorial Board of Journal of Nanotechnology. The National Science Foundation, the Department of Homeland Security, Boeing Commercial Airplane Company, and REC Silicon are currently sponsoring Professor Norton’s research. Prior to entering academia, Norton worked for two major European multinationals. He has consulted for a number of companies and organizations, including an interesting project on the World War II memorial in Washington D.C., and he is an advisor to CH2M Hill in the area of nanomaterials processing. In 2007, Norton formed GoNano Technologies, Inc., a university spin off company focused on alternative energy applications for nanomaterials. In 2009, Governor Christine Gregoire appointed Professor Norton to the Board of Directors of the Washington Technology Center. |
