Faculty
Mark Aindow Prof. Mark Aindow was educated at the University of Liverpool in England, receiving a BEng in Metallurgy and Materials Science in 1985 and a PhD in Materials Science and Engineering in 1988. After a brief spell as a temporary lecturer in Liverpool he spent two years in the USA as a Postdoctoral Fellow, firstly at Case Western Reserve University and then at The Ohio State University. He was appointed to the faculty at The University of Birmingham, England in 1990 as a Lecturer and was promoted to Senior Lecturer in 1996. He returned to the USA in 1999 to join the faculty at the University of Connecticut as an Associate Professor. He was promoted to Professor in 2006. He currently serves as Director of the Materials Science and Engineering Program for the CMBE Department at UConn, and as Deputy Editor-in-Chief for the Journal of Materials Science. Prof. Aindow's main teaching and research interests lie in the application of transmission electron microscopy and other advanced microstructural characterization techniques to the study of engineering materials. Areas of particular interest include: microstructural development in engineering alloys, the atomic structure of solid/solid interfaces; crystallography and defect structures in thin films; and nanostructured materials for catalytic applications. He has published over 200 refereed papers on such topics in academic journals and conference proceedings and has presented invited talks on this work in North and South America, Europe and Asia. He is the faculty coordinator for the Microscopy Laboratory in the Institute of Materials Science at UConn. Prof. Aindow was a Visiting Professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at National Taiwan University during his sabbatical in 2005; he was a Royal Society / Chinese Academy of Sciences Exchange Scholar in the Spring of 1994 at the Beijing Laboratory for Electron Microscopy; and he is a Fellow of both the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (FIMMM) and the Institute of Physics (FInstP) in the UK.
