Mark Weiler

Manager - E&F, Bertucci Nanotechnology Laboratory - CMU

Mark Weiler served in the U.S. Navy Intelligence community for twelve years working with the merger and patching of legacy intelligence gathering and processing systems from IBM, Cray and Univac solid-state computers with the DEC, Univac mini-computers and Sun SPARC stations being introduced in the 1980’s, and then with advanced acoustic analysis ASW systems and Satellite-based Tomahawk missile control systems at Navy-Marine Corps Intelligence Center in the 1990’s. After his service he worked at Intel and Ion-Tech with ion implantation and plasma sources. In 2002, became a researcher at Colorado State University where he studied the effects of low-energy Xenon bombardment on novel spacecraft materials, and completed the start-up of the Accelerated Wear Test Laboratory to study the erosion patterns on, and improve performance of ion thruster optics. He then joined Varian Semiconductor Equipment’s Ion Implant group where he worked on improving Ion Source MTBF and reducing Beam Line particulate to meet the manufacturing constraints of Intel’s sub-22nm nodes. In 2015, Mark joined CMU’s Bertucci Nanotechnology Laboratory where he directed its 3-year equipment move-in and startup.
