Raymond R Unocic

Bio

Dr. Raymond Unocic is a Senior R&D Staff Scientist, Group Leader of the Materials MicroÅnalysis group and Directed Nanoscale Transformations Theme Science Leader at the Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences. He received his Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from THE Ohio State University in 2008. In 2009, he joined Oak Ridge National Laboratory as an Alvin M. Weinberg Fellow. His research expertise is focused on the: 1) the development and application of advanced in situ characterization methods to probe the mechanisms and kinetics of materials transformations in challenging liquid/gas environments and under electrochemical, electrical bias, and thermal exposure. 2) Utilization of aberration-corrected STEM/EELS/EDS to probe the atomic- scaled structure, chemistry and defects of materials to elucidate nanomaterial functionality.
