Joseph "Joe" E. Greene, known in his professional writing as J. E. Greene (born November 25, 1944)[1] is an American materials scientist, specializing in thin films, crystal growth, surface science, and advanced surface engineering. His research and scientific contributions in these areas have been described as "pioneering" and "seminal"[2] and that his work has "revolutionized the hard-coating industry".[2]

Among his many professional organization memberships, Greene was elected President of the American Vacuum Society in 1989 and has served as both a Trustee and member of that organization's Board of Directors for multiple terms beginning in 1983.[1]

Education

Greene studied at the University of Southern California, earning a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering in 1967, a M.S. in Electrical Engineering/Materials Science in 1968, and a Ph.D. in Materials Science in 1971.[1] The title of his dissertation is Glow Discharge Spectroscopy for the Analysis of Thin Films.[3] While studying at USC, Greene was a founder and director of Materials Development Corporation from 1969 until 1971.[1]

Career

In 1971, Greene was hired by the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign Department of Mechanical Engineering, Metallurgy and Mining as an assistant professor, and was promoted to full professor in 1979. In 1998, he was named as the university's first D. B. Willett College of Engineering Professor, "in recognition of his research and his outstanding teaching reputation".[2] Through 1999, Greene had been named an "outstanding teacher" every semester he taught at the University of Illinois.[2] From 1999 until 2004 he was the director of the Frederick Seitz Materials Research Laboratory and the Center for Microanalysis of Materials. Greene retired as a Professor Emeritus from the UIUC Department of Materials Science and Engineering in 2005.[4]

In 1984, Greene served as a Visiting Professor in the Physics Department at Linköping University in Sweden.[1] This led to years of collaborative and highly productive research with Swedish colleagues[5] that eventually earned Greene the position of Tage Erlander Professor of Materials Physics at Linköping University[4][6] from 1994 to the present.

Greene also holds a Chaired Professorship in Materials Science from the National Taiwan University of Science and Technology.[6][7]

Over the course of his career, Greene has supervised over seventy Ph.D. students at the three universities where he has held professorships, as well as hosting over 100 visiting scientists and post-doctoral researchers.[5]

Editorships

  • Editor of the journal CRC Critical Reviews in Solid State and Materials Sciences (1985–1998)[8]
  • Editor of the journal Thin Solid Films (1991–present)[8]
  • Editorial board member of the journals Brazilian Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology (1988–present) and Physics Procedia (2014–present)[2]
  • Associate editor of Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology (1983–1986)[2]

Professional organizations

Greene is a member of numerous professional organizations, including:

  • Member, Electron Spectroscopy Society, where he served as Director from 1976–1981[1]
  • Member and Fellow, American Vacuum Society, where he served as President in 1989 and has been on the Board of Directors from 1983–1986, 1988–1991, and 1996 to the present[1]
  • Member, American Institute of Physics, where he was a governing board member from 1993–1995[8]
  • Member and Fellow, American Physical Society, where he was a member of the Executive Committee of the Materials Physics Division from 1999–2002[6]
  • Member and Fellow, Materials Research Society[6]
  • Member, The Minerals, Metals, and Materials Society[4]
  • U.S. representative to the International Union of Vacuum Science and Techniques, Thin Film Division from 1986 to present[6]

Research

As of 2019, Greene's career has spanned more than five decades and during that time his scientific output has consisted of "over 625 research and review articles, 29 book chapters, four co-edited books, 525 invited talks, and 140 plenary lectures".[5]

A primary focus of his research has been "the development of an atomic-level understanding of adatom/surface interactions during vapor-phase crystal growth".[8]

Greene and his research team conducted the first systematic study of the effects of the ion/metal flux ratio and ion energy on microstructure evolution in hard coatings. Their determinations of the properties of this class of materials are considered reference standards in the field.[5]

He has also developed a new class of metastable semiconducting alloys, which have come to be known as "Greene alloys".[2]

In addition, his work on the development of Si atomic layer epitaxy (ALE), including mapping the basic surface science of Si ALE, are considered seminal contributions in that field and the real-world application of these studies "has since been implemented by electronic companies in the United States and Japan".[2]

His publications have been cited more than 26,000 times by other scholars.[9]

Awards and honors

Throughout his career, Greene has received numerous awards and recognition for his research, teaching, and service to the scientific community. In October 2019, the journal Thin Solid Films dedicated a special issue to Greene[10] that contained "54 new and review articles by scientists from around the globe who wish to acknowledge Joe's positive influence on the field of thin film physics as well as on their careers and research".[5]

Significant awards and honors include the following:

For research

For teaching

For service

  • Lifetime Achievement Award (Taiwan Association for Coating and Thin Film Technology, 2013),[5] for "seminal contributions to understanding the physics, chemistry and materials science of thin films and nanoclusters"[7]

Personal life

He is married to Phyllis Greene.[1][3] He is a mountaineering enthusiast and volunteers as a search and rescue ranger at the Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming.[5]

Bibliography

Greene has co-edited four books:[5]

  • Beam-Induced Chemical Processes (1985, Materials Research Society)[15]
  • Laser-Stimulated Chemical Vapor Deposition (American Vacuum Society, 1985)[16]
  • Physics and Chemistry of Protective Coatings (1986, American Institute of Physics)[17]
