Dr. Scott E. Slavin
Scott Slavin started his industrial career as a Senior Scientist with Corning Glass Works developing dispersion-altered single-mode optical waveguides (fiber optics).
After several years he joined the RCA Corporation as a Member of the Technical Staff at Sarnoff Laboratories. This position involved optimizing CSP laser diode structures and facet coatings, developing techniques to elucidate failure modes, and predicting operating lifetimes via accelerated lifetesting. The work was supported in part by N.A.S.A. as part of their Advanced Communications Technology Satellite Program (ACTS).
Following this he moved to the Rohm and Haas Co., initially working as a Senior Scientist in the Microscopy laboratory to develop techniques to visualize the morphology of various polymeric systems.
After several years, he became the Manager of the Physics Laboratory and was responsible for basic polymer physical property determination (mechanical, electrical, optical, etc.). Additional responsibilities included polymer physics research oriented towards developing an improved understanding of polymer molecular dynamics, fracture mechanics, and structure/physical property relationships.
His next position was that of Senior Scientist at Performance Controls Inc. working on a National Science Foundation Grant for advanced electric motor design. Research topics included chemical vapor deposition to improve the magnetic properties of commercial electrical steels, process development enabling high power carbon dioxide laser fabrication of rotor and stator laminates, and extrusion of high-thermal conductivity ceramic insulation.
Upon completion of the NSF grant, he joined Molecular Circuitry Inc. in mid 1999 as a scientist with responsibilities in the area of surface Physics/Chemistry.
