Biographical Sketch:
Michael Lanagan received his B. S. in Ceramic Engineering from University of Illinois and his Ph.D. from Penn State. He is presently Associate Professor of Engineering Science and Mechanics and Associate Director of the Materials Research Institute. Before joining Penn State, Dr. Lanagan was a staff scientist at Argonne National Laboratory for twelve years where he studied materials for superconductors, molten carbonate fuel cells, and high-energy density capacitors. He is an author of over 150 technical publications and 8 patents. His present interests include synthesis, processing, and characterization of new materials for wireless communications and power electronics applications.
Research Interests:
• Electronic Materials
• Microwave Materials Interactions
• Dielectrics
• High-energy dielectrics for pulsed power applications.
