Robert Rudnitsky, US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Office of Advanced Manufacturing Associate Director and Acting Division Chief for Policy and Strategy
Robert Rudnitsky is a Physicist and is the Associate Director at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Office of Advanced Manufacturing, where he also serves as Acting Division Chief of Policy and Strategy. Robert received a Ph.D. in Applied Physics from Stanford University, where he was a Hertz Fellow, and a B.A. from Yale University. At Stanford, his research was at the intersection of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), nanotechnology, and biotechnology. He designed and fabricated advanced MEMS sensors to measure the binding forces between pairs of protein molecules, and developed thermodynamic models of the molecular interactions.
Prior to coming to NIST as Scientific Advisor to the Director of the Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology, Robert worked as a Physicist in the U.S. State Department in the Office of Space and Advanced Technology, where he chaired the U.S. National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI) Global Issues in Nanotechnology Working Group, which coordinated United States Government international activities related to nanotechnology. He was also elected the founding chair of the international Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Working Party on Nanotechnology. As Associate Director and Acting Division Chief, Robert provides scientific and technical guidance for the Manufacturing USA program, and develops policy and strategy for new programs, including the planning for the CHIPS Research and Development Programs.
