Milliron-Urban

The Molecular Foundry's Jeff Urban is the new Director of the Inorganic Nanostructures Facility. Jeff's group develops new materials and measurement tools for solid-state energy storage and conversion applications. Jeff has replaced Delia Milliron, who is now the Deputy Director of the Molecular Foundry. Delia's research focus on new functionality and reduction of manufacturing costs of nanomaterials-based energy technologies, and her group continues to lead efforts in fundamental chemistry of nanomaterials for device integration and characterization.

YaghiNew Foundry Director: The Foundry is pleased to welcome Professor Omar Yaghi as our new Director. Yaghi, previously at UCLA, is a pioneer in the field of reticular chemistry. He will also hold a joint appointment with UC Berkeley's Chemistry Department.
