Chris Skiba, Purdue University’s Discovery Park
Contract Manager, has over eighteen years experience
in the Construction Industry. Chris’s primary
responsibility is to manage the construction
contract between the University and the General
Contractor. Teaming up with the University Project
Managers, as well as the Architectural and
Engineering firm, is paramount for a successful
project. Chris also works side by side with Purdue
University’s trade inspectors to ensure the project
is being constructed as per the plans and
specifications. Chris helps to identify potential
concerns and then seeks ways to rectify the
situation; he closely monitors the budget and
handles all financial matters in regards to the
construction contract.
Chris has a Bachelors of Science Degree in
Construction Management from Indiana State
University; in addition, his previous positions have
included, but are not limited to: estimating, site
supervision, and project management. Prior to his

National Nanotechnology Coordination Office (NNCO)
Director
Clayton Teague is Director
of the federal National Nanotechnology Coordination
Office (NNCO)
since April 2003. Dr. Teague was previously Chief of the
Manufacturing Metrology Division in the Manufacturing
Engineering Laboratory of the National Institute of Standards
and Technology (NIST).
Dr. Teague joined NIST in 1972 were he designed, constructed, and used precision instrumentation for ultra-high accuracy dimensional metrology of surfaces and micrometer to nanometer-scale features. Beginning with his metal-vacuum-metal
tunneling work in the 1970’s, he continued to work with such
precision instrumentation as scanning tunneling microscopes,
atomic force microscopes, displacement and phase-measuring
interferometry, stylus instruments, flexure stages, and light
scattering apparatus. Because the laboratory and building
environments were always factors in the ultimate performance of
these instruments, the subject of this workshop has been an
ongoing topic of great interest.
Dr. Teague is a member of the American Society for Precision
Engineering, has served twice as the Society’s President, and is
a fellow of the UK Institute of Physics. He served as
Editor-in-Chief of the international journal Nanotechnology for
ten years and is currently a member of the Editorial Board of
the journal. He holds a B.S. and M.S. in physics from the Georgia Institute of Technology and a Ph.D. He has authored or coauthored 70
papers, has presented 50 invited talks in the technical fields
described, and jointly with colleagues, has six patents. Dr.
Teague has received the Gold Medal, Silver Medal, and Allen V.
Astin Measurement Science Award from the Department of Commerce,
the Kilby International Award by the Kilby Awards Foundation,
and an IR-100 Industrial Research and Development Award for his
work. |

Dr. Larry Allard obtained all three of his degrees at
the University of Michigan in the Materials Science
and Engineering Dept. He started his electron
microscopy career in 1963 as a sophomore at the U of
M, working as a research assistant in the High
Temperature Metallurgy group, where he studied
microstructures of stainless steel and nickle-based
superalloys to characterize creep-rupture failure
mechanisms. He learned electron microscopy under
Prof. Wilbur Bigelow, and was a teaching assistant
for several semesters in Prof. Bigelow’s graduate EM
course. From 1965 to ’69. He also worked on projects
with Prof. Lawrence Brockway of the U of M Chemistry
Department, including studies of gaseous reactions
on thin metal single crystals. The latter project
was funded out of the Materials Characterization
group at the Oak Ridge Gaseous Diffusion Plant. In
1969, Dr. Allard joined that group, where he worked
for two years on materials problems (primarily
studies of reactions of UF6 with Ni films) related
to uranium isotope separation, before returning to
Michigan to help establish the university’s Electron Microbeam Analysis Laboratory. Following 13 years at
Michigan, and after completing his doctoral work
(and the 1982 ASU Winter School and Workshop in
electron microscopy), he took a position as
Principal Scientist at the American Cyanamid Company
in Stamford, CT. In late 1986 he returned to Oak
Ridge, and is now a Distinguished Research Staff
Member in DOE's High Temperature Materials
Laboratory, a National User Facility located at Oak
Ridge National Laboratory. His current research
involves high resolution and analytical electron
microscopy studies of nanophase and nanostructured
materials, diesel and automotive catalytic
materials, and instrumental developments involving
electron holography, digital imaging and remote
instrument operation. He is the chief scientist in
charge of the Aberration-Corrected Electron
Microscope (ACEM) project at the HTML, which is one
of the first of a new generation of STEM/TEM
instruments with sub-Ångstrom resolution to be
installed in the US. He is also the principal
technical designer of ORNL’s new Advanced Microscopy
Laboratory, a facility housing the most advanced and
sensitive modern electron beam instruments. Dr.
Allard is the author or co-author of more than 200
scientific publications, and has co-edited several
conference proceedings and books, including
