David Drabold
David Alan Drabold (born 13 February 1960) is an American physicist, currently Edwin and Ruth Kennedy Distinguished Professor[1] at Ohio University.
Early life
Born in Akron, Ohio, he received a B.S. in applied mathematics from the University of Akron in 1982, and a PhD. in physics from Washington University in St. Louis.
Research
Drabold's work focuses on the theory of amorphous materials.[2] He is known for his formulation of algorithms to elucidate consequences of structural disorder to electronic, optical and transport properties.[3] His published research has over 10,000 scientific citations and has been published in high impact journals such as Nature and Science.[4] He is a fellow of the American Physical Society,[5] the Institute of Physics and the Royal Numismatic Society.[6]
He has been Visiting Fellow Commoner in Trinity College, Cambridge,[7] and is a life member of Clare Hall, Cambridge. He was Leverhulme Visiting Professor of Chemistry at the University of Cambridge in 2008.[8]
Selected publications
Origins of structural and electronic transitions in disordered silicon[9]
Theory of diamondlike amorphous carbon[10]
