Paul McIntyre is a senior fellow at the Precourt Institute for Energy and faculty co-director of Stanford Energy 3.0. McIntyre leads a research team of graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, visiting scientists and consulting professors who perform basic research on nanostructured inorganic materials for applications in electronics and energy technologies. His work focuses on metal oxide/semiconductor interfaces, ultrathin metal oxide films, atomic layer deposition and semiconductor nanowires. Their research is supported by several U.S. government agencies and major corporations. McIntyre holds eight U.S. patents and has received two IBM Faculty Awards, a Charles Lee Powell Foundation Faculty Scholarship and an SRC Inventor Recognition award. He received a Sc.D. from MIT.

Faculty Directors
Paul McIntyre
Professor, and Department Chair, Materials Science and Engineering
Fritz Prinz
Professor, Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering and the Finmeccanica Professor in the School of Engineering
Professor Prinz is a senior fellow at the Precourt Institute for Energy and faculty co-director of Stanford Energy 3.0. Prinz obtained his Ph.D. in Physics at the University of Vienna, Austria. Prof. Prinz's current work focuses on scaling effects and quantum confinement phenomena for energy conversion. He leads a research team of approximately twenty-five graduate students, visiting scientists and consulting professors who study mass transport phenomena across thin membranes such as oxide films and lipid bi-layers. In their research, the Prinz group employs Scanning Probe Microscopy, Impedance Spectroscopy, and Quantum Modeling. In his laboratory, prototype fuel cells, solar cells, and batteries serve to test new concepts and novel material structures. For more information, please see Professor Prinz’s profile.
