Bruce Dunn

Bruce Dunn is the Nippon Sheet Glass Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at UCLA. His research interests concern the synthesis of inorganic and organic/inorganic materials, and characterization of their electrical, optical, biological and electrochemical properties.

A continuing theme in his research is the use of sol-gel methods to synthesize materials with designed microstructures and properties. His recent work on multifunctional materials for electrochemical energy storage includes three-dimensional batteries and pseudocapacitive materials. Among the honors he has received are a Fulbright research fellowship, the Orton Lectureship from the American Ceramic Society, awards from the Department of Energy and invited professorships in France, Japan and Singapore. He is a Fellow of the Materials Research Society, the American Ceramic Society, and a member of several editorial boards.
