Nathan Youngblood
Dr. Youngblood will join the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the University of Pittsburgh as a tenure-track assistant professor in September 2019. He received his PhD in electrical engineering from the University of Minnesota where his research focused on integrating 2D materials with silicon photonics for high-speed optoelectronic applications. From 2017 to 2019, he worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Oxford developing phase-change photonic devices for integrated optical memory and computation. His research interests include bi-stable optical materials, 2D material optoelectronics, and photonic architectures for machine learning.

Upon graduating, he moved to Stuttgart, Germany where the spent the next two and a half years as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Max Planck Institute, one and a half years of which were as an Alexander von Humbolt Fellow. He then became a member of the technical staff of The Aerospace Corporation before finally joining the Department of Physics of the University of Pittsburgh in 1994. He was elected a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 2006.
Ken Jordan received his B.A. in Chemistry from Northeastern University and then his Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He then was an Instructor and then an Assistant Professor of Engineering and Applied Science at Yale before joining the University of Pittsburgh in 1978. He has received numerous academic honors, and the 2014 Kenneth Jordan Festschrift Issue of the Journal of Physical Chemistry was dedicated to his lifetime achievements. He has held several positions on editorial, advisory, and executive boards, and is currently a Co-Director of the Center for Simulation & Modeling at Pitt.
James McKone earned a bachelor’s degree in chemistry and music from Saint Olaf College in Northfield, MN in 2008.
