Paul F. Nealey is currently the Brady W. Dougan Family Professor in Molecular Engineering at the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering of the University of Chicago, and a Senior Scientist at Argonne National laboratory.  His research interests include nanofabrication techniques based on advanced lithography and directed self-assembly, dimension dependent material properties of nanoscopic macromolecular systems, quantitative three-dimensional characterization of the structure and dynamics of soft materials, and charge transport in nanostructured polymers. He is a member of the National Academy of Engineering, a fellow of the American Physical Society, and has received the the 2015 Intel Outstanding Researcher Award in Patterning, the 2016 Semiconductor Industry Association—Semiconductor Research Corporation University Researcher Award, and the Outstanding Research Award from the Society of Photopolymer Science and Technology.
