James Batteas is an Associate Professor of Chemistry at Texas A&M University. He received his B.S. degree in Chemistry from the University of Texas-Austin in 1990 and Ph.D. in Chemistry at the University of California-Berkeley in 1995. Following a postdoctoral appointment at Harvard University, he joined the faculty at The City University of New York where he developed several projects in the area of nanoscale materials and devices. He later moved to the Surface and Microanalysis Science Division at NIST in Gaithersburg, MD as a Staff Scientist and joined the faculty at Texas A&M University in 2005. Dr. Batteas is an expert in materials chemistry of surfaces and interfaces, with a focus on scanning probe microscopies, and his research activities cover a broad range of fundamental surface and interfacial phenomena. Research projects in his group include investigations of charge transport in organic molecules on surfaces, nanoparticle catalysis, semiconducting nanomaterials, plasmonics, tribological properties of oxide surfaces, self-organizing nanoscale materials for device applications, plant biopolymer surfaces, and nanofabrication approaches for the development of optoelectronic and sensing architectures.
