Michael A. Carpenter received his B.S. in chemistry from the State University of New York College at Geneseo in 1991, and a Ph.D. in physical chemistry from the University of Rochester, NY in 1996. He was a postdoctoral associate at Cornell University from 1996 to 1998, and was a postdoctoral associate at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory from 1998 to 2000. In 2000, he became a staff scientist at Albany Nanotech. In 2002 he was appointed as an assistant professor and in 2009 was promoted with tenure to associate professor in the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering at the University at Albany-SUNY. He is currently the Interim Dean of the College of Engineering and is an associate professor in the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering at SUNY Polytechnic Institute. Carpenter has edited a book entitled “Metal Oxide Nanomaterials for Chemical Sensors, has published three book chapters, 70 journal publications, his work has over 1550 citations, and he has given 88 presentations. Carpenter has led the development of plasmonics for use as harsh environment chemical sensors and recently developed thermal energy harvesting methods, which enables an integrated platform for plasmonics based detection of emission gases at temperatures exceeding 500°C to be realized. Five patents have been filed with two being granted.
