2020 Short Course Speakers Michael J. Bortneris an assistant professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Virginia Tech. Mike earned his B.S. from Penn State in Chemical Engineering with a focus on polymer science and engineering, and his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from Virginia Tech with a focus on non-Newtonian fluid mechanics, and composite and polymer processing.

Prior to joining VT in 2015, Mike gained a decade of industrial experience as VP of Manufacturing Process Development at NanoSonic, Inc. with a focus on manufacturing process development of thermoplastic, thermosetting, and metastable polymers and composites / nanocomposites, with a primary focus on fiber reinforced polymer matrix composites and polymer nanocomposite coatings. Mike’s research interests are focused in the areas of polymer and composite processing, rheology and structure-process-property relationships. His current research is focused on development of materials and process technologies to advance the state of the art in polymer extrusion additive manufacturing and continuous/discontinuous fiber reinforced polymer matrix composites.

Costantino Creton is a CNRS research director within the Soft Matter Science and Engineering Laboratory of the ESPCI ParisTech. He has published more than 150 papers in the area of mechanical properties, dynamics and structure/properties relationship of soft polymer based materials, such as soft adhesives, rubbers or hydrogels. His group developed several original experimental setups combining accurate mechanical measurements and optical observations. He has been awarded the Prix Dédale from the French Adhesion Society in 2007, the ‘Wake Medal’ of the UK Society of Adhesion and Adhesives in 2011 and the US Adhesion Society 3M Award for ‘Outstanding Excellence in Adhesion Research’ in 2013. In 2013 he was also elected a Fellow of the American Physical Society.

David Dillard is the Adhesive and Sealant Science Professor in the Biomedical Engineering and Mechanics Department at Virginia Tech. He has worked extensively in the field of adhesive bonding, having experience in structural adhesives for aerospace, automotive, and infrastructure applications; adhesives and coatings for microelectronic applications; pressure sensitive adhesives; and elastomeric adhesives and sealants. He has coauthored over 190 publications in refereed journals and regularly teaches courses in adhesion science and viscoelasticity. His research activities focus on developing test methods and predictive models for understanding and estimating the performance and durability of adhesives and bonded systems, using the principles of fracture mechanics and viscoelasticity. He is a Robert L. Patrick Fellow and former President of the Adhesion Society, and recipient of the Adhesion Society’s 2010 3M Award for Excellence in Adhesion Science and the Wake Medal presented by the Society of Adhesion and Adhesives in 2013.

Giles Dillingham is CEO and Chief Scientist of BTG Labs, an advanced materials company specializing in surface engineering and surface energy measurement instrumentation. After receiving his Ph.D. in Materials Science from the University of Cincinnati, Dr. Dillingham worked in the Advanced Composites laboratory of the Dow Chemical Company developing surface treatments for high modulus polymeric fiber reinforcements. Later as Technical Director of HiTech Polymers he oversaw development and manufacture of thermoplastic blends and composites. Since 2000 his companyhas worked extensively with a wide range of industries to develop and enhancemanufacturing processes based on a fundamental understanding of the relationships between materials composition, processingvariables, and adhesion. Dr. Dillingham has been an active member of the Adhesion Society since the 1980’s and is a Robert L. Patrick Fellow of the Society. He has over 120 publications and patents.

Raymond Pearson received a B.S. degree in chemistry from the University of New Hampshire and a Ph.D. degree in materials science and engineering from the University of Michigan. In 1990 he joined the Materials Science and Engineering Department at Lehigh University, Bethlehem, PA. Ray is currently the Director of Polymer Science and Engineering graduate program at Lehigh University. In 2010, he became a Fellow of the Society of Plastics Engineers. In 2018, he won the Award for Excellence for Adhesion Science from the Adhesion Society. Ray’s research interests include all aspects of processing, deformation, yield, and fracture of polymers as well as a focus on adhesion and interfacial issues. Notable research accomplishments include the elucidation of toughening mechanisms in rubber-modified and silica nanoparticle-filled epoxies. Recent efforts are focused on developing polymer nanocomposites for 3D printing.

Kevin Turner is the Gabel Family Tern Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics at the University of Pennsylvania.

His primary research interests are related to mechanics and manufacturing issues in micro- and nanoscale systems. His research spans multiple topics including, adhesion, wafer bonding, tip-based nanomanufacturing, microfluidics, and semiconductor nanomembranes.

Keren Zhang - Keren Zhang is a Senior Chemist at DuPont Electronics & Imaging leading a project of spin on carbon formulation development for semiconductor manufacturing. She earned her Ph.D. from Virginia Tech in Chemistry in 2016 with a focus on novel polymer synthesis and structure-property relationship, and her B.S. from University of Science and Technology in China. She has published 19 peer-reviewed papers and filed 11 patents relating to novel polymeric materials for adhesives, elastomers, and electronic materials. She has been awarded the Alan Gent distinguished student paper award from the Adhesion Society, Eastman fellowship, and various awards for national conference presentations. She has experience on chemistry, rheology, and structure-property relationship of pressure sensitive adhesive and led rheometer and adhesive testing demonstrations for various short courses at Virginia Tech.

David Yarusso received his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Wisconsin in Madison in 1983 where his research focused on structure-property relationships of polymers. He joined 3M the same year and worked in several divisions and staff laboratories during his career, developing an expertise in the understanding of pressure sensitive adhesives. He retired from 3M in 2017 and currently has a consulting business. He published several papers during his 3M career including one on modeling the relationship between rheological properties and peel performance of pressure sensitive adhesives.
