个人简介

D.Phil. in Chemistry Mar 1998 University of Oxford, Oxford, UK B.S., summa cum laude, major in Chemistry, minor in Physics May 1991 B.A., cum laude, major in German May 1991 Tulane University December, 2009: Teaching Incentive Program Awards 2008-2009 recipient: Stephen Kuebler February, 2008: Dr. Stephen M. Kuebler was awarded a CAREER Grant by the National Science Foundation. This award (no. 0748712) is supported jointly by the Division of Materials Research and the Chemistry Division of the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Directorate. The award, entitled “CAREER: Three-Dimensional Multi-Scale Metallodielectric Materials”, provides support over a period of five years for the investigation of new processes for creating optically functional three-dimensional metallo-dielectric meta-materials. September, 2006: Dr. Stephen Kuebler’s research group has developed a new approach for fabricating three-dimensional metal-polymer composite micro-structures. The approach opens new routes to photonic materials and devices with novel optical properties. This research was featured on the Aug. 2006 cover of “Advanced Functional Materials”.

研究领域

Research in the Stephen Kuebler lab is geared toward the discovery and development of new materials and processes for photonic applications. Of particular interest are methods for patterning materials on nanometer and micrometer length scales, techniques for three-dimensional nano- and micro-fabrication, and the development of new nano-composite materials having useful optical and electronic function. The nano/micro-patterning methods we are developing should find broad application in several areas of science and technology, including the development of new composite optical materials, fabrication methods and materials for micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), micro-optical systems, and biological sensors. One approach being explored is multi-photon three-dimensional microfabrication (3DM). 3DM is a photolithographic technique that enables topologically complex 3D micro-structures to be serially-patterned in a single exposure step. 3DM is well suited for rapid direct manufacture of micron-scale structures, such as MEMS, micro-fluidics, and micro-optical components. Multi-photon 3DM has been used to fabricate a wide range of complex 3D micro-structures. We are currently pursuing several research avenues that will greatly expand the utility of the approach as a manufacturing tool for nano- and micro-fabrication. These materials should form the basis for a new generation of MEMS, microfluidics, and nanophotonic devices. We have recently developed a unique concept-to-product instrument interface for multi-photon 3DM. The system allows us to design a target micro-structure using industry-standard CAD software and then directly fabricate the structure under automated computer control. We plan to investigate different fabrication-path processes and study how these affect structure integrity, fidelity, and the mechanical properties.
