Albert Davydov started his career as an Assistant Professor at the Department of Chemistry at MSU (1989-1993), then as a Research Scientist at the University of Florida (1993-1997), followed by NIST Research Associate position with the University of Maryland (1997-2005). He joined NIST as a staff scientist in 2005. He has extensive experience and publication record (~150 publications in peer-reviewed journals, 5 patents) related to fabrication, processing and microstructural characterization of a wide range of electronic materials including semiconductors, 2D and quantum materials. His expertise also includes thermodynamic modeling and experimental study of phase diagrams for metal and semiconductor material systems.
He serves as a Head of the Semiconductor Task Group for the International Centre for Diffraction Data (ICDD), member of Advisory Board with the Applied Physics Review journal, member of the Science Advisory Board with the nanoelectronics COmputing REsearch (nCORE) program at SRC, co-Chair of the Reference Materials Task Group at ASTM Subcommittee on Compound Semiconductors, member of Technical Committee 229 (Nanotehcnology) at International Organization for Standardization, and co-Chair of SPIE Optics & Photonics Conference on Low-dimensional Materials and Devices.
He has been mentoring and co-advising for M.Sc. and Ph.D. students from the DC metropolitan area universities and for NRC postdocs at NIST.
