Jamie Perez
Educational Background
-B.S. Materials Engineering, UC-Santa Barbara
-M.S. Chemistry, UC-Santa Barbara
-Ph.D. Materials Science and Engineering, UC-Berkeley, 5 years ago
Publications
-Refereed: 17 articles, 15 co-authored with students, 11 co-authored with other faculty (7 in Chemistry, 4 in MSE, dominantly in journals favored by chemists); 3 articles from Ph.D. work, co-authored with major advisor, Dr. Sylvia Lampaninia
Two articles appeared in Journal of Engineering Education within past 14 months, one on a controlled study of class performance with and without the use of multimedia tools and videos to assist physical understanding of crystal structures and defects in solids, and the other on use of a web-based media to provide a philosophical foundation for instruction based on analogies from other fields.
-Conference Proceedings: 11, 6 in past two years
Presentations
-5 seminars, 2 invited
Research
-Perez' doctoral research focused on thin film deposition and measurement of thin film properties; in past three years this has been refocused towards molecular scaffolding for growth of structured, chemically activated surfaces that can be used for environmental sampling.
Funding
-$70K total first two years, two single investigator grants
-$230K third year, as Perez' component of collaborative projects with Profs. Lopez and Rodriguez of Chemistry
-$350K years 4-5, as Perez' component of a $1.3M per year interdisciplinary center funded by NSF (Perez is co-investigator, with Lopez, Rodriguez and Johnson, Rita Lopez is PI/PD)
-$35K from industry funding, year 4, Co-PI with Dr. Sharikh Bahouali of Environmental Engineering who serves as project director
-$25K from Gates Institute for Web-Based Instruction to develop Instruction by Analogy: Mining the Web for Parallel Examples
There is no other funding in MSE related to Perez' primary interest area.
Graduate Student Advisement
4 PhD students in-progress, 1 of whom passed MSE qualifying examination
--2 of these PhD students are co-advised by Dr. Rodriguez in Chemistry, and are registered in Chemistry
--2 MS students graduated, 2 more MS students in progress (all MSE)
Teaching:
-Has taught MSE 272, Introduction to Structure of Materials (joint with two other MSE faculty, team-taught course)
-Has taught sections of senior level design course in MSE. Has co-developed and co-taught Chemistry/MSE 745, Surface Chemistry and Multifunctionality, with Scott, Rodriguez from Chemistry. Highly ranked in MSE 272 by student surveys (upper quartile), ranked above average by senior design student surveys, and receives highly responses from graduate students in CHEM/MSE 745. Students often comment that they can identify with Perez. Students often comment on positive use of multimedia and web-based tools in lectures.
Service
-Faculty Advisor, ASM Chapter (10 MSE students involved)
-Member, MSE Computer Committee, past three years.
Honors and Awards
-Best Paper, APS meeting two years ago, (co-authors, in order fo listing: Lopez, Perez, Rodriguez)
-Certificate of merit, center for innovation in teaching, Mythical Tech
