Brian R. Stoner
Brian R. Stoner, PhD, Senior Fellow in materials and electronic technologies at RTI International. Research activities relate to biomedical materials and devices, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS)-based sensors, and photonics. Before joining RTI, Dr. Stoner was a senior scientist for Kobe Steel USA's Electronic Materials Center, researching plasma processing of thin-film microelectronic materials. Stoner also is an adjunct professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Duke University where he conducts research on nanostructured materials and related devices. He holds 22 U.S. patents related to novel microelectronic materials and systems, and has authored or co-authored two book chapters and more than 120 publications.
