• Biography

  Dr. Christopher L. Soles leads the Functional Polymers Group in the Materials Measurement Laboratory at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). His research group focuses on measurement strategies that help commercialize the use polymeric materials in technologies related to semiconductor fabrication, printed and flexible electronics, membranes for ion transport and water filtration, structural composites, and impact mitigation. His research in all these areas has always focused on the relationship between polymer dynamics and material function in these technology sectors. He received Bachelor of Science degrees in both Mechanical Engineering (ME) and Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) in 1993, and his Doctorate in MSE in 1998, all from the University of Michigan. He then moved to the NIST Polymers Division as a NRC Postdoctoral Fellow, making the transition to a Staff Scientist in 2002. For the past 10 years he has led the Functional Polymers Group in the Materials Science and Engineering Division.
