About

Our Research

Our group performs research on nanostructured inorganic materials for applications in electronics, energy technologies, and sensors. Professor McIntyre is best known for his work on metal oxide/semiconductor interfaces, ultrathin dielectrics, defects in complex metal oxide thin films, and nanostructured Si-Ge single crystals. His research team synthesizes materials, characterizes their structures and compositions with a variety of advanced microscopies and spectroscopies, studies the passivation of their interfaces, and measures functional properties of devices.

Professor Paul McIntyre

Paul McIntyre received a B.A.Sc. in metals and materials engineering from the University of British Columbia in 1988 and a Sc.D. in ceramics from MIT in 1993. He was a postdoctoral fellow at MIT and Los Alamos National Laboratory before joining Texas Instruments, Inc. After leaving Texas Instruments, he joined Stanford University as an Assistant Professor in 1997.

Currently, Prof. McIntyre serves as an Associate Director of SLAC, the Director of the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource at SLAC, is a Senior Fellow at the Precourt Institute for Energy, and is a Professor of Materials Science and Engineering and of Photon Science. Previously, he has served as Department Chair of Materials Science and Engineering and as Deputy Director and then Director of the Geballe Laboratory for Advanced Materials (GLAM). He is also a Principal Editor of MRS Communications.
