Delia Milliron
Delia J. Milliron is the T. Brockett Hudson Professor in Chemical Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin.[1] Milliron leads a research team that focuses on developing and studying the properties and applications of new nanomaterials.[2] Her team pursues studies on nanocrystals, nanoscale interfaces, and assemblies of nanocrystals towards the dual goals of advancing fundamental knowledge and developing innovative technologies, most particularly towards broad impact in the energy sciences. She is particularly well known in the field for her work on developing energy-efficient "smart window" coating technologies. She is the co-founder and chief scientific officer of Heliotrope Technologies based on her team's discoveries in this research area.[3]
Research and career
Delia Milliron received her A.B. in Chemistry and Materials Science and Engineering from Princeton University. She received her Ph.D. from UC Berkeley in the laboratory of Paul Alivisatos (2004). She performed post-doctoral research at the IBM T.J. Watson Research Center. Prior to beginning her career at UT Austin, Milliron was a research staff member of the IBM Almaden Research Center. She then lead a research group as a staff scientist at Lawerence Berkeley National Lab in the Inorganic Nanostructures Facility of the Molecular Foundry. Milliron served as the Deputy Directory of the Molecular Foundry at large from 2008 to 2012.[4] In addition to her current faculty appointment at UT Austin, Milliron is a co-principal investigator for the Center for Dynamics and Control of Materials a National Science Foundation Materials Research Science and Engineering Center where she is the faculty co-leader for the internal research group on "Reconfigurable and Porous Nanoparticle Networks".[5]
